State Farm Contributes $50,000 to I-CAR Education Foundation
State Farm Insurance Company contributed $50,000 in July 2006 to the I-CAR Education Foundation. The contribution will support five major areas of concentration: image and recruitment through the collsiionkids.org and collisioncareers.org websites; curriculum distribution; career and technical school and college support; training, placement, and mentorship; and administrative services.“The generosity of State Farm Insurance Company will allow us to continue marketing current programs, products, and services, and to develop new materials to attract youth into the collision repair industry. We appreciate having the resources to continue marketing programs like PACE+ST3(R) and the Industry Training Alliance(R), which allow participating career and technical schools and colleges to offer their students a head start in the collision repair industry. Their continued support shows their commitment to the collision repair industry and their confidence in the I-CAR Education Foundation. The collision repair facilities will receive the long-term benefits from their generosity,” said Ron Ray, Executive Director of the I-CAR Education Foundation.
“State Farm is fully committed to seeing young people find placement and succeed in the collision industry and we have proven that commitment by continually providing financial support to the I-CAR Education Foundation since its inception 15 years ago,” said Chris Evans, State Farm Claim Consultant, P&C Claims. “State Farm has a vested interest in the purpose of the Education Foundation and we are proud to affiliate with and support such a worthy organization.”
The I-CAR Education Foundation, founded in 1991, is a not-for-profit organization; its IRS 501(c)(3) status allows it to accept grants and donations from government agencies, individuals and businesses.
