Chip Miller’s Story
In 2004, the automotive community lost an incredible man. Elliott “Chip” Miller passed away from amyloidosis. Chip co-founded Carlisle Events and built some of the world’s greatest car shows, bringing enthusiasts together from around the globe. His passion continues to inspire both young and old.
Chip’s legacy lives on through the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation (CMAF), created by his family and friends to empower others with knowledge about the disease, promote early detection, and support research for a cure.
