NABC hosts Recycled Rides, collision industry golf event

The event is being held to provide collision repair businesses and professionals in the southwest an opportunity to meet and network with peers while supporting NABC’s image-enhancing community initiatives.

Proceeds from the golf event, with Enterprise Rent-a-Car as presenting sponsor, will help fund member programs including Recycled Rides™, First Responder Emergency Extrication (FREE™) and the Distracted Driving Initiative. 

To showcase NABC’s signature Recycled Rides™ program, three vehicles donated by State Farm and Allstate, and repaired by NABC Diamond members Berkshire Hathaway Automotive, Caliber Collision and Service King, will be presented to three local Dallas-area families in need.

“We have heard from businesses and individuals across the country who welcome the opportunity to network and collaborate on a local level with colleagues towards a common goal to promote the professionalism and integrity of the collision repair industry,” said Keith Egan of RW Mallon Auto Paint and Equipment, and Chairman of NABC’s Fundraising committee.  “Our goal in hosting regional golf events is to provide NABC members and supporters a fun, casual way to build and enhance relationships while we demonstrate our community service projects such as Recycled Rides and showcase the professionals in our industry.“

“The regional fundraiser also provides us with the opportunity to give back to the communities in which we live and work,” added Darren Huggins, National Collision Director of Berkshire Hathaway Automotive and chair of the Dallas golf fundraiser.  “I am proud and appreciative of the commitment and generosity of so many of our colleagues in the collision industry who are stepping up to sponsor and participate in this southwest regional fundraiser to raise funds for our community service programs.” 

A number of sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses to show their support. Registration fee is $150 for individual players and $600 for a foursome team.  Online player registration and sponsor information is available at www.NationalAutoBodyCouncil.org.
