Maybach Foundation Community Announcement: Paying tribute to our Supporters at the 73^rd Annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

San Fran­cis­co, July 2024: The May­bach Foun­da­tion and its Patrons will join an array of sup­port­ers, con­nois­seurs, and auto­mo­tive enthu­si­asts at a myr­i­ad of events tak­ing place over the 73^rd Annu­al Peb­ble Beach Con­course d’Elegance host­ed in Mon­terey, California.

Held on the his­tor­i­cal and spec­tac­u­lar 18^th fair­way of Peb­ble Beach Golf Links, this unique com­pe­ti­tion sees an assort­ment of antique, col­lec­tor auto­mo­biles judged on their ele­gance, tech­ni­cal mer­it, and his­to­ry. Crowds come from all cor­ners of the globe to cheer on their favorites, as well as catch a glimpse of the most eager­ly await­ed con­cept cars and new vehi­cle debuts.

To kick off the week­end, the May­bach Foun­da­tion has been invit­ed to par­tic­i­pate at a pri­vate Lun­cheon (by invi­ta­tion only) which is host­ed by Mer­cedes-Benz Group’s May­bach brand at an exclu­sive loca­tion on Sat­ur­day, August 17^th, 2024. This event, which promis­es to inspire, enlight­en, and invig­o­rate all auto­mo­tive sens­es, will see Mer­cedes-May­bach advo­cates, con­nect with a part of the May­bach Foun­da­tion net­work, as well as indus­try exec­u­tives encour­aged to share their philoso­phies on one of the true May­bach val­ues: “A Pio­neer­ing Spir­it.” In addi­tion to being enthralled by the vari­ety of cars on dis­play and enjoy­ing an exquis­ite lunch, guests can expect to engage in a high­ly stim­u­lat­ing May­bach Pan­el Talk which will see the likes of Jane Poyn­ter (Founder & Co-CEO at Space Per­spec­tive), Daniel Lescow (Head of Mer­cedes-May­bach), and Ulrich Schmid-May­bach (Founder & Pres­i­dent of the May­bach Foun­da­tion and co-founder of the May­bach Icons of Lux­u­ry acces­so­ry group) shar­ing their per­spec­tives on pio­neer­ing and how hav­ing this spir­it has impor­tant­ly impact­ed their own lives.

Fol­low­ing the insight­ful Pan­el Talk and Mer­cedes-May­bach Lunch for­mal­i­ties, guests of the Foun­da­tion will be invit­ed to move ‘from land to sea’ and join the Foundation’s Founder and Pres­i­dent, Ulrich Schmid-May­bach, as well Mr. David Grieve, Founder of the Grieve Fam­i­ly Win­ery and Dou­ble Eagle, for sun­down­ers at an exclu­sive May­bach Foun­da­tion x Grieve Fam­i­ly Winer­ies Yacht Event. This per­son­al­ized assem­blage, and one which empha­sizes the May­bach mantra and his­to­ry of “Mobil­i­ty by Land, Air, and Sea” promis­es to extend the day’s fes­tiv­i­ties and pro­vide a spe­cial net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ty for those so dear to the Foundation’s mission.

The May­bach Foun­da­tion is proud to hon­or our annu­al high lev­el cor­po­rate con­trib­u­tors and loy­al sup­port­ers whose gen­er­ous sup­port con­tin­ues to inspire and pro­vide a plat­form for the next gen­er­a­tion of pio­neers. Uli May­bach, Founder and Pres­i­dent of the May­bach Foun­da­tion empha­sizes: “Your inspi­ra­tion con­tin­ues to move us as an orga­ni­za­tion and our May­bach Men­tor­ing Pro­gram and

May­bach His­to­ry Show Room ever­more for­ward — thank you for help­ing us to grow.”
