FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Marc Riley, National Sales Director of Rick Case Automotive Group, and Debra Koebel, President of the South Florida Automobile Dealers Association (SFADA), recently presented Matt Organ, Co-Chairman of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County, with a $77,000 donation from the Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show, which was raised through ticket sales during last year’s show.

In addition to participating in the check presentation, children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County attended the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show and were treated to a special tour of the show floor, where they got to sit behind the wheel of some of the latest car models on display. 

Marc Riley, National Sales Director of Rick Case Automotive Group, helps kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County take a seat in one of the cars on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show.

It was Rick Case who launched the Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show in 1991 as a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Broward County. Since then, the Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show, in partnership with the SFADA, has helped to raise more than $5 million for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. It is one of the organization’s leading annual fundraising events.

About The Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show
Before the Broward County Convention Center opened in 1990, the late auto dealer Rick Case got the rights to put on the Fort Lauderdale International Auto Show at the center as a fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club of Broward County. As the show gained popularity, increasing in size each year, Rick Case realized that he needed help producing the show. Encouraging other auto dealers in the South Florida community to participate, Rick Case was able to secure the full support of the South Florida Automobile Dealers Association (SFADA), which is comprised of nearly 200 new car dealers in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe counties.
