LKQ Corp. has contributed $25,000 to the Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF). This contribution 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 through this support, the students of today become tomorrow’s industry professionals and create a brighter future for the entire collision industry.
The $25,000 gift from LKQ will support the Education Foundation's Collision Repair Education Campaign fund, which allows the Foundation to provide its annual student scholarships, school grants, and the annual Ultimate Collision Education Makeover $50,000 school grant.
"LKQ has been a consistent supporter of the Collision Repair Education Foundation on several levels," notes Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director Clark Plucinski. "Through LKQ's part donations to collision school programs, monetary donations, and having representation on our Board of Trustees, LKQ has shown a strong commitment to assisting the future professionals of the collision industry. It is only through this continued support that the Collision Repair Education Foundation can help collision instructors in producing productive, efficient entry-level staff for the industry. We thank LKQ for their continued support and hope other industry leaders can follow their lead."
