July 8, 2013—Rydell Chevrolet of Waterloo, Iowa, donated $100,000 in parts to 50 schools through the Collision Repair Education Foundation.

“Rydell Chevrolet has taken their generosity to a new level and continues to amaze us. This individual dealership in Waterloo is assisting collision school programs nationwide through their parts donations, which are desperately needed by instructors," said Brandon Eckenrode, director of development for the Education Foundation. "We hope to showcase this dealership’s continued support to the thousands of other dealerships across the country and help connect them to local collision school programs.”
