Every time members of the National Auto Body Council (NABC) come to Las Vegas, they always leave a trail of cars behind… but it’s all for a good cause.
Four Las Vegas families facing difficult times were selected to receive keys to newly refurbished vehicles at the NABC’s annual Recycled Rides giveaway at the SEMA Show.
Participants in this year’s multi-car gifting at SEMA include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, State Farm Insurance, Allstate Insurance Company, Esurance and Hertz, which donated vehicles refurbished by Gerber Collision, Caliber Collision, Sterling Auto Body Centers and Collision Authority.
The families were selected by Family Promise of Las Vegas, which helps homeless and low-income families transition from homelessness to stability and independence.
In addition, Family Promise received a 15-passenger van donated by Enterprise Rent-a-Car and repaired by Gerber Collision in a surprise presentation.
“Family Promise of Las Vegas does a wonderful job of helping so many families regain stability. We recognize that owning a car they can count on could be the key to regaining both their financial well-being and their self-respect,” says Chuck Sulkala, NABC executive director. “Recycled Rides is a wonderful program that enables so many of us in the collision repair industry to partner with our colleagues and make a positive impact in peoples’ lives.”
