The Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) will be hosting its annual summer golf fundraiser July 13, 2021, which will take place in the Greater Cleveland area in conjunction with regularly scheduled industry meetings.
Registrants will enjoy a day of lunch, golf and a dinner reception at the semi-private Stonewater Golf Course, one of Northeast Ohio’s premier courses designed by the award-winning architect team of Hurzdan & Fry. Funds raised for this event assist CREF in supporting high school and college collision programs, students and instructors.
With the anticipated excitement around industry members gathering for an in-person event, CREF expects both the event registration and sponsorship to sell out by early 2021. Industry members are invited to secure a foursome team ($1,200) and/or one of the below sponsorship opportunities early to ensure their participation. Individual registration will be available after the New Year.
