“Being able to attend and volunteer at this event, I was able to see first-hand the incredible work that this I-CAR volunteer committee is able to accomplish by working together and helping to raise additional funds for their local collision school programs," said Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode. "This event was so well put together that I was taking notes on what the Education Foundation could mimic at our national golf fundraiser each summer. Congratulations to the group.”
Added Gerry Poirier, Farmers Insurance national APD manager and Atlanta I-CAR committee chairman, “This is the fourth year of this tournament and our most successful by far. I would like to thank our many industry supporters, as well as our outstanding committee volunteers, for coming together for such a great cause. The ability to raise these funds for the support of the collision education programs right here in Georgia truly shows what a great industry we are part of.”
