Each of the 10 charities automatically receives $50,000 from the LKQ Community Foundation. However, there is an additional $500,000 available for donation to these charities.

If CREF receives 50% of the online vote, CREF would receive an additional $250,000 donation.

The other deserving charities include American Cancer Foundation, Make-A-Wish and SkillsUSA, just to name a few. However, CREF is the only collision industry exclusive charity participating.
