The Collision Repair Education Foundation said the inter-industry provided $1.1 million in support to collision schools,
instructors and students in 2010. Through monetary and in-kind
product donations, these donors helped to provide student
scholarships, student tool grants, school equipment and supply
grants, and the 2nd annual Ultimate Collision Education Makeover
school grant.
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.”
