State Farm displayed its commitment to the future
of the collision industry by contributing $70,000 to the
Collision Repair Education Foundation. State Farm's contribution
is an investment in the entire industry as it enhances the
Education Foundation's ability to offer grants and scholarships
to career and technical schools and colleges and the students
attending these schools. By increasing educational opportunities
for these students, who are tomorrow's industry professionals,
the future will be brighter for all segments.
The $70,000 contribution from State Farm will go towards the
Education Foundation's Collision Repair Education Campaign
(CREC) fund which allows the Foundation to provide annual grants
and scholarships to support schools, instructors, and students
in collision education.
"The work of the Education Foundation is consistent with
State Farm's philosophy" says Chris Evans, State Farm Claim
Consultant. "We believe that all young people deserve an
education that helps them reach their potential and prepares
them for life. Our support goes to programs that provide
students the instruction, resources, and support they need to
succeed."
Scott Kruger, Education Foundation Executive Director, stated,
"On behalf of the staff, Board of Trustees, and the network of
1,300 schools that the Education Foundation supports across the
country, I would like to thank State Farm for not only their
2010 contribution but also their continued support throughout
the Education Foundation's history. It is through this continued
support that the Education Foundation can help ensure that
students receive the best educational experience possible before
entering into the industry."
