March 3, 2014—CDE Collision Damage Experts, operator of seven auto body shops in Illinois and Indiana, has donated $10,000 to Together We Cope’s annual “Red Carpet Dinner Dance” fundraising event.
Together We Cope is an organization that supports families and individuals who are dealing with a temporary crisis by providing food, shelter, clothing and referrals to help them return to self-sufficiency, CDE said. The money raised during the “Red Carpet Dinner Dance” event—which will take place March 7—will assist families with various types of financial assistance, such as rent, mortgage payments, education and medical needs.
Chuck and Donna Freiberg, co-owners of Chicago, Ill.-based CDE, have been involved with Together We Cope since 2012.
“When we first got introduced to Together We Cope over two years ago, we fell in love with the program and the families they support,” said Donna Freiberg. “I get so much joy from knowing that I make a positive difference in the lives of so many people.”
