COLLISION REPAIR EDUCATION FOUNDATION SEEKING “BACK TO SCHOOL” SUPPORT FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE COLLISION PROGRAMS • MCR SAFETY DONATES 50,000 PAIRS OF SAFETY GLASSES AND GOGGLES

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – August 25, 2016 – High school and college collision school programs across the country are beginning and the Collision Repair Education Foundation is seeking the industry’s support in helping instructors with donated collision tools, equipment, supplies, products, scrap parts, and other related items. As instructors continue to face limited collision budgets, the industry is invited to help in providing donated in-kind product donations, which are tax-deductible, that can assist in helping to provide a quality technical education to the students.

To kick start the back to school giving, MCR Safety has donated 50,000 pairs of safety glasses and goggles to the Collision Repair Education Foundation that will be distributed to schools across the country. This donation will greatly assist students in staying safe within their collision programs and it will be one less item that instructors need to worry about budgeting for. MCR Safety Chief Operating Officer Glen Herald noted, “MCR Safety is proud to be able to assist with these donations. I encourage others to do the same with overstocked inventory.”

Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “Industry companies who have items that can donated to collision school programs are asked to contact the Education Foundation and together as an industry we can show these students that their technical education is greatly valued. Instructors have very limited budgets and every bit of assistance helps them provide the best technical education possible. Also, we cannot thank MCR Safety enough for their continued support of donated safety glasses as they easily have donated over 100,000 pairs within the past several years and its always touching when you receive phone calls from instructors who are emotional over the fact these types of donations mean the world to them due to their budgetary restraints.”

Those interested in joining the Collision Repair Education Foundation in supporting local collision school programs, should contact Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode at Brandon.Eckenrode@ed-foundation.org/ 847-463-5244.
