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.”
