ATI SuperConference attendees donate $51,000 and 2,500 pairs of socks to Soldiers’ Angels
Automotive Training Institute’s (ATI) SuperConference 2019 attendees raised over $51,000 and collected over 2,500 pairs of socks for San Antonio-based, Soldiers’ Angels a charitable organization that provides aid to over 360,000 service members, wounded heroes, military families, and veterans of all eras.
The annual SuperConference is known within the automotive aftermarket industry for providing a luxurious setting where auto shop owners can learn new strategies, network and give back to a local charity. This year’s event was attended by over 600 members, sponsors and vendors who either directly donated or raised money for Soldiers’ Angels, along with donating socks to the charity’s Warm Feet for Warriors Project.
ATI’s SuperConference is held in a different location each year and chooses a local charity for its annual fundraiser accordingly. Kids Beating Cancer of Orlando, Florida, Care Fund in Scottsdale, Arizona, and K9s for Warriors in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida are the most recent in the line-up of charities chosen and supported over the last 10 years.
Richard Menneg, President of ATI had this to say, “ATI helps auto shop owners by improving their businesses to run more profitably. So, when they’re given the opportunity to give back, they don’t hesitate. They want to help - and do so generously every year.”
