3M Donates Signature Event with Chip Foose to Support Military Veterans and Collision School Programs

To show support for the Collision Industry and advancing career opportunities, 3M donated a signature event with Chip Foose, as well as other Chip Foose memorabilia, to the Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) combined efforts to raise funds for the Hire Our Heroes program in addition to raising additional support for high school college collision programs as they start their new school semester.

The Hire Our Heroes program supports military veterans and family members of veterans who are studying collision repair in a local high school or technical college. Auto enthusiasts are encouraged to participate in these two different fundraising opportunities and help support the future professionals of the industry.

Signature Event Auction

For Foose Design fans and auto enthusiasts, CREF will also be auctioning off auctioning off a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Chip Foose and tour Foose Design in Huntington Beach, CA. This opportunity includes roundtrip airfare, a tour of Foose Designs by Chip himself, and autographs. This signature prize was generously donated by 3M. Funds from the auction will help CREF support high school and college collision programs in need this school year with tools, equipment, and supplies.

The Meet & Greet online auction has closed! 

“The passion for cars and restoring the beauty is a talent and art we must continue to foster and bring to the Collision Industry. I learned from my dad at an early age and want to continue to give-back and support the talented people in the early stages of their careers,” Chip Foose, Foose Design.

Autographed Hoods

Chip Foose has recently autographed (150) Hire Our Heroes graphically themed mini-hoods, which are available for purchase online. There are two different types of hoods: (135) with Chip’s signature which are available for $250 each and (15) hoods that include Chip’s signature and a custom car drawing done by Chip are $500 each. Funds raised from this fundraiser will help CREF provide tool grants to Hire Our Heroes recipients and allow veterans and/or their family members studying collision repair start off their careers with needed tools. The hoods are available on a first-come-first serve basis, with the expectation that they will sell out quickly.

For a donation of $500 or more, the first 15 donors will receive a autographed hood that includes a custom drawing by Foose.

“Inspiring new talent to join and become part of the Collision Industry is imperative and 3M wants to do their part to ensure technicians have the right tools for the job and continue to build a passion for the industry,” Lori Tempelis, 3M Automotive Aftermarket Sales and Marketing Director.

Questions regarding either fundraiser opportunity can be directed to CREF Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode at Brandon.Eckenrode@ed-foundation.org.
