NABC Reports Continued Increases in WorldSkills Donations
Contributions to the WorldSkills competition continue to come in according to the National Auto Body Council. The donations will fund two competitors, one collision, one refinish, along with two instructors. They will be participating in the bi-annual WorldSkills event, held in 2005 in Helsinki, Finland.“Corporate donors continue to lead the way, “ said Teresa Bolton, project coordinator for the fundraising effort. “But we’ve also started to see an increase in individual and collision repair shop contributions. I am certain they will get more involved as we head into 2005.
“New donors at the corporate level include Snap-On, the Society of Collision Repair Specialists, GEICO and Equipment Services. A special thanks goes to CARSTAR and General Motors for their maximum-level contribution of $3,000.
“Individual and small business contributors include Raymond Fisher, Glen Funk, Jerry and Geralynn Kottschade, Laney's Collision, KerenOr Consultants, The Pups, Chuck Sulkala, J-DT Inc., Autobody by Caldwell, Faith Quality Auto Body, Lorene Lombardi, Cindy Matthews, Yumi Vaught, and Stacy Bartnik.
Doug Webb, outgoing NABC Chairman reiterrated a statement he made earlier when he said “We can’t claim to be a player on the world stage if we don’t compete on a world stage. That’s what this competition is, and everyone involved in the Collision Industry has a vested interest in sending a United States team to WorldSkills.”
Tax deductible contributions should be made to the Collision Industry Foundation at P.O Box 4489, W. Richland, WA 99352. Donation pledges can be made at the NABC website.
