Central Massachusetts I-CAR committee axe tournament raises thousands for auto body education
The event, held at Half Axe in Marlborough, MA, served as a fundraiser for the Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) in support of local auto body vocational school programs. In addition to raising more than $3,500 for area schools, the Axe Tournament provided a fun and unique way to encourage inter-industry networking and camaraderie.

Fuller (Fuller Automotive; Auburn) was pleased to see the local industry show such a strong commitment to strengthening the educational opportunities available in the Commonwealth.
"When shops think about having to keep up with technology, they should also think about the schools. They often struggle to survive, and that is why we're here to help."
