The Maybach Foundation Private Luncheon at this year’s prestigious Concours d’Elegeance event at Pebble Beach, California was an incredible get together and an inspiring gathering.
This invitation-only event, took place at the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge. It was a coming together of Maybach enthusiasts, Foundation members, and industry executives to engage in the concepts of “luxury and giving back”.
“It is imperative for us to while gazing at the luxurious also focus on authentic and effective philanthropic projects. We, at the Maybach Foundation associate with people, corporations, and projects that stand for what we believe in, and think about what’s good for society,” explained Ulrich Schmid-Maybach, President and Founder of the Maybach Foundation. « We raise awareness, and provide platforms (like this one) for people to engage with this type of thought and dialogue.”
