Aug. 15, 2013—Adrian’s Collision Centers is partnering with Bill Bentley, a second-year Detroit Lions cornerback, to collect school supplies for the Detroit public schools during the month of August.
To donate, individuals can drop off supplies to the designated boxes at any one of the six Adrian's Collision Centers located throughout the Detroit metro area in Southfield, Farmington Hills, Northville, Dearborn, Commerce and Marysville. In addition, all who donate school supplies will be entered to win one of six footballs autographed by Bill Bentley.
"We're very excited to partner with Bill Bentley on this initiative," said Neil Adrian, owner of Adrian's Collision Centers. "Any way that we can help start the school year off with adequately equipped classrooms, we're going to get involved."
"This a great time of year, not only because we're headed into football season, but also because it's time to go back to school," Bentley said, who is utilizing this initiative as a springboard to launch The Bentley Foundation. "The purpose of my new foundation is to help inner-city youth, and I can't think of a better way to do this than to give them the proper tools to be successful in the classroom.”
Donations are being collected from Aug. 1–31. Addresses for each location are available at adrianscollisioncenters.com.
