FinishMaster donated $52,000 in supplies to three collision
programs through the Collision Repair Education Foundation. The
donated kits contain an assortment of supplies such as masking
tape, adhesive, paint remover and other items. The schools
receiving these donations include Ivy Tech Community College
in Terre Haute, Ind.; Kennedy-King College in Chicago; and
Northcentral Technical College in Wausau, Wis.
“FinishMaster is proud to support the Collision Repair
Education Foundation and their charter to train and educate the
next generation of PBE technicians,” said J.A. Lacy, President
and CEO of FinishMaster. “We know our donation will be useful
to the technical schools as they prepare for the next
semester.”
“FinishMaster’s continued support of the Collision Repair
Education Foundation through school product donations assist
schools in a time when many instructors are facing budget cuts
and might not have the needed supplies to instruct their
students,” stated Collision Repair Education Foundation
Executive Director, Scott Kruger. “These supplies help
instructors and their collision programs in many ways and the
end result is a better educational experience for the students
by having the proper hands-on instructional tools. I would like
to thank FinishMaster for coming to the aid of the future of
the industry once again through their support and donation.”
“I would like to thank FinishMaster and the Collision Repair
Education Foundation for wholeheartedly supporting Northcentral
Technical College’s (NTC) students,” stated NTC Dean of
Technical and Trades, Victoria Pietz. “You have gone above and
beyond expectations in providing valuable insight into the
development of NTC’s two-year auto collision program, finding
ways to help us create a state-of-the-art lab. Without the
industry’s support, the continued advancement of auto collision
education would not be such a success. It is Northcentral
Technical College’s goal to do our part in providing an
educational program that works toward continually improving and
supporting the needs of the industry with a qualified
workforce.”
