HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – November 24, 2014 – The Collision Repair Education Foundation’s annual summer golf fundraiser will take place Wednesday, July 22, 2015 in Detroit, MI at the Arnold Palmer designed Northville Hills Golf Club. This fundraiser takes place in conjunction with the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) and NACE industry meetings being held that week in Detroit. Funds raised through this event assist the Education Foundation in providing support to collision repair students and their school’s collision programs. Sponsorship opportunities are available for consideration and going quickly, with attendee registration set to open after the New Year.
Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “We are excited to be returning to Detroit for our 14th annual summer golf fundraiser which has raised over $300,000 for collision students and schools since 2009. As this year’s fundraiser will be held on Wednesday afternoon of industry week, we anticipate the event to be sold out by the spring and encourage industry participation through sponsorship, registration (when available), and donating items for our silent auction/raffle table.”
