On May 4, Allstate Insurance Company and Sterling Autobody Centers, through the Collision Repair Education Foundation, will donate more than $10,000 in tools to Southeast Career Technical Academy and the College of Southern Nevada.

Along with the tools, Allstate will donate a salvage vehicle to each school for students to repair to “like new” condition. Once the rides are refurbished, the vehicles will be donated to Las Vegas families in need.

“Sterling’s donation of tools and equipment is an investment in the future of the students at Southeast Career Technical Academy and the College of Southern Nevada,” said Nick Notte, president of Sterling Autobody Centers. “Supporting their technical training and seeing them use their skills to provide the gift of transportation to two deserving families is very rewarding.

“This is an opportunity to highlight the Collision Repair Education Foundation and the National Auto Body Council (NABC), organizations that both Allstate and Sterling support. Our partnership with Family Promise helps us with that giving. Sterling hopes to employ many of the students who will benefit from our gift.”

The two Las Vegas vehicles are part of Allstate’s commitment to donate a total of 60 refurbished automobiles to the NABC Recycled Rides Program. Sterling Autobody locations around the country will be refurbishing more than 30 cars. The recycled rides will then be given to families or non-profit organizations at multiple events later this year.   

“Our participation in the Recycled Rides Program is an extension of Allstate’s commitment to serve the communities in which we do business,” said Bill Daly, Allstate Claims vice president. “It's an honor for us to be able to provide reliable transportation and help families across the country get to their jobs, doctor’s appointments or other places they couldn’t go without a ride.”
