Collision Repair Education Foundation donors provide $1.1 million in support in 2010
In addition, the number of Industry Leadership Circle donors to the Collision Repair Education Foundation nearly doubled in 2011 compared to 2010.
“On behalf of collision repair students, instructors, and schools nationwide, thank you to everyone, businesses and individuals, who gave to the Collision Repair Education Foundation,” said Scott Kruger, Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director. “We are excited not only by the continuing support in education by the entire collision industry, but also by the number of first-time and returning donors to the Foundation. Collision repair businesses are beginning to feel the benefits of investing in the education of the young men and women who will soon take their place and make their own mark in our industry.”
“The Collision Repair Education Foundation experienced its most monetarily satisfying and event gratifying year ever in 2010,” said Doug Webb, Chairman of the Collision Repair Education Foundation Board of Trustees. “I want to thank the Staff for all of their efforts during 2010, all the Trustees, and of course, all the donors for their support during the year. It is a privilege to serve as Chairman and I look forward to the excitement and challenge of 2011.”
