Teen Challenge of Southern California was established in 1963 and includes nine regional facilities with seven strategically placed residential facilities throughout Southern California. Last year Teen Challenge served over 200,000 men, women and children in Southern California through its resident and outreach programs. The Teen Challenge residential program continues to be one of the largest and most effective substance abuse recovery and prevention programs of its kind.

The Benedict Castle and Concours and Car Show is proud to support Teen Challenge. The Benedict Castle Car Show serves as its largest fund raiser. With the venue being provided by Teen Challenge and the great majority of the on-site work leading up to and on the actual day of the show, 90% of every dollar raised by the Benedict Castle Concours goes directly into the program of Southern California Teen Challenge… making every contributor a vital part of our success.

Teen Challenge is a non-profit organization that relies entirely on the generous donations, funding and volunteer efforts of both individuals and organizations throughout our communities in order to offer services at no cost to the individual. We know that community involvement and support is an essential component of recovery and necessary to providing services that address the specific needs of the communities involved.

Ours is a missional movement that unashamedly follows Christ, embraces servant leadership, and shares transforming grace.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
