PartsTrader has donated $5,000 to start a fund in memory of collision industry member Troy Holm who passed in March 2013. Through the assistance of the Collision Repair Education Foundation, the fund will assist collision repair and refinishing students competing at future SkillsUSA national competitions.
“We believe this is a wonderful way to honor Troy’s legacy and his lifelong commitment to the collision repair industry,” said Dale Sailer, PartsTrader’s vice president of business development. “Troy was hugely passionate about the good and valuable work that the men and women of this industry do each day, and the opportunity to help the future generations of collision repair professionals who share his passion represents a great way to always hold Troy in our collective memory.”
Added Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode, “I would like to thank PartsTrader for starting this fund in remembrance of Troy Holm and providing assistance to those students who have earned the right to compete at the national level during the SkillsUSA competition. We hear instances where some collision repair and/or refinish students take first place in their state competition, however are unable to attend the national contest due to lack of funding. This grant, which we encourage other industry members to support, will ensure that the collision industry truly does have the very best represented at the national contest.”
