National Auto Body Council Celebrates 1,000th Recycled Ride

Dec. 17, 2015

Dec. 17, 2015—The National Auto Body Council (NABC) anticipates that by January 2016, its members will have officially donated over 1,000 vehicles through its Recycled Rides program.

To commemorate this milestone, NABC will host a special event on Jan. 12 in Palm Springs in conjunction with its annual Golf Fundraiser and the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) meetings that week.  

The celebration will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Palm Springs with a commemorative 1,000th Recycled Rides vehicle presentation to a local Palm Springs family.

A reception will follow immediately after the vehicle presentation where special recognition awards will be presented to acknowledge those in the collision industry who have contributed to Recycled Rides program since its inception in 2007.

The 1,000th Recycled Rides vehicle was donated by Hertz and is being repaired by Caliber Collision-Coachella Valley with contributions of parts and services from many others in the collision industry. The recipient family was selected by Variety the Children’s Charity of the Deserts, which has partnered with NABC to nominate recipients for the Recycled Rides event.

“The success of Recycled Rides Is due to the generous commitment of time, talent and resources by so many individuals and businesses in our collision industry,” said Domenic Brusco, chairman of NABC. “We look forward to celebrating this important milestone with our friends and colleagues in Palm Springs.”

To RSVP for the event, email Mike McManus of the NABC.
