It is a gathering defined by appreciation for legacy and the stories behind it.

Being included as a beneficiary partner reflects a shared commitment to honoring perseverance, strengthening connection, and supporting communities shaped by resilience.

Expanding Awareness Through a Globally Recognized Event

Since its founding in 1996, The Amelia Concours has become one of the most respected automotive events in the world. Beyond the concours show field, the weekend includes experiences such as Cars and Caffeine, live seminars, and community gatherings that bring people together through shared passion.

These experiences create an environment where conversation happens naturally and stories are shared. It is this sense of connection that makes the partnership especially meaningful.

Operation Healing Forces will have a presence throughout the weekend, offering opportunities for attendees to learn more about the organization’s programs and the families they support. Being part of The Amelia creates space to build relationships, expand awareness, and connect with individuals who value legacy, service, and community.

Creating Meaningful Opportunities for Operation Healing Forces Alumni

As part of the partnership, Operation Healing Forces alumni families and advocates have been invited to attend Cars and Caffeine, one of the most anticipated gatherings of The Amelia weekend. This event brings together automotive enthusiasts and supporters in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

For alumni families, the opportunity to attend represents a chance to reconnect and experience an event that celebrates excellence and shared appreciation. These moments reflect the importance of continued connection and community beyond formal programs.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

Operation Healing Forces team members will be present across The Amelia weekend, connecting with attendees and sharing how programs help strengthen relationships and provide critical support to Special Operations Forces service members, veterans, and their families.

Being part of The Amelia creates an opportunity to highlight the importance of supporting Special Operations Forces families and to connect with individuals and organizations who believe in strengthening those who have served.

“The Amelia represents a pinnacle of craftsmanship, heritage, and performance, where every vehicle tells a story of precision, resilience, and legacy,” said Kerry Irvin, CEO of Operation Healing Forces. “At Operation Healing Forces, we see those same qualities in the Special Operations warriors and families we serve every day. Being part of a world-class event that honors history, excellence, and community, while also helping support the healing and strength of our nation’s most elite military families, is a tremendous honor for our organization.”
