Several I-CAR volunteer committees and industry groups will be conducting golf fundraiser events that will raise needed money and awareness for their local high school and college collision school programs through the Collision Repair Education Foundation. Industry members are encouraged to participate as an attendee or sponsor by joining fellow industry members during these events. With the industry in high demand of graduating collision students that are properly trained, helping to provide collision school programs with additional funding will assist collision school instructors with needed tools, equipment and supplies.

Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “These committee members and groups have come together for the betterment of their local collision school programs and I applaud their efforts. They have spent many hours upon hours of their time organizing these events and volunteering their time. As the funds raised during these events will help local collision school programs, participants can know that they are making their local collision industry’s future a lot brighter.”
