YEAR END PRODUCT DONATIONS AND COLLISION STUDENT SAFETY KIT SPONSORSHIP REQUESTED BY COLLISION REPAIR EDUCATION FOUNDATION

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – December 19, 2017 – The Collision Repair Education Foundation is requesting year-end in-kind donations of products, tools, equipment and spare parts that will be distributed to high school and college collision school programs. These tax-deductible donations will provide a great start to the spring school semesters during a time when instructors are facing limited program budgets and expected to graduate well-trained and productive entry-level staff for industry employment.  

 

Another year-end opportunity for support includes companies sponsoring student safety kits for local high school and college collision programs. For $50 p/student, each safety kit includes a Cintas work shirt and work pants. Companies that sponsor at least (20) safety kits will have their corporate logo added to the work shirts, that the students would proudly wear around the school and local community. The Collision Repair Education Foundation would arrange a time for the sponsoring companies to present the safety kits to the local collision school students when they begin their spring school semester after the New Year.

 

Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “We are looking for the industry’s help to provide early holiday gifts to high school and college collision instructors through donated products, tools, equipment, and spare parts for their programs. Many of these instructors are working with limited program budgets and need as much help as possible in order to provide a quality technical education. Also, as companies might have remaining, year-end sponsorship budgetary funds, the industry is invited to sponsor student work uniforms for local collision students and provide them with a professional appearance. Plus, as companies can sponsor these work uniforms for collision school programs near them, they can directly see how their support is making a difference and personally handing these kits out to the students at the beginning of the spring semester. We invite the industry to help the Education Foundation end the year on a strong note and getting in contact with us on either of these two year-end opportunities.”

 

Industry members interested in making year-end product donations and/or sponsoring collision student safety kits for local high school and college collision school programs should contact Director of Development, Brandon Eckenrode at Brandon.Eckenrode@ed-foundation.org or 847.463.5244.
