Safelite Group, a leading vehicle glass and claims management company, has contributed $10,000 to the Collision Repair Education Foundation.
The $10,000 gift will support the Education Foundation’s Collision Repair Education Campaign fund, which allows the Foundation to provide its annual student scholarships, school grants and the annual Ultimate Collision Education Makeover $50,000 school grant.
“Proper education ensures quality workmanship and helps enhance our industry’s reputation,” said Jerry Beigel, senior vice president of Safelite Solutions, the company’s P&C insurance claims business unit. “We are happy to contribute to education of auto body and vehicle glass technicians through this donation.”
Added Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director Clark Plucinski, “Safelite, as a company, has a great history of giving back both through financial contributions and personal volunteer efforts. The support of Safelite’s entire senior management team speaks loudly of the progress we have made with helping companies like Safelite to understand the value of donating to the Foundation. Safelite’s leaders understand that there is not just a benefit to the shops, but to the entire industry helping to build the bridge to employment for the 60,000 students participating in these programs.”
