Eckenrode to Compete in Urbanathlon to Support I-CAR Education Foundation $100 Shop Campaign

The magazine’s inaugural Urbanathlon event was held in New York City in 2006 and Chicago will be the host for one this year as well. For more information about the event, visit www.menshealthurbanathlon.com.

For all contributions made through the $100 per Collision Repair Facility per Year campaign, 85 percent go back to the career and technical schools and colleges in the regions or country where the funds originated. To pledge $100 towards Eckenrode’s Urbanathlon efforts, e-mail your pledge and contact information to I-CAR Education Foundation Products and Services Specialist Stacy Zarr at Stacy.Zarr@i-car.com. Those who pledge will only be asked to donate upon Eckenrode’s successful completion of the October event.

Ron Ray, Executive Director of the I-CAR Education Foundation said, “Many of the schools with a collision repair and refinishing training program operate with limited budgets. Through this outstanding effort by Mr. Eckenrode, we look forward to participation from individuals and business owners to support their local schools with tax-deductible donations. We are proud of volunteers like Mr. Eckenrode, and believe that together, we can make a difference.”

“As you will see on the event’s website, this race is beyond any triathlon or marathon I have competed in before,” stated Eckenrode. “The schools, instructors, and students are the future of our industry and there is no better time than the present to show them that they are involved with an industry that is supportive of their success and professional growth. Help make my physical pain during the event their gain and pledge $100 for your local school!”

All contributions for the campaign are recognized on the I-CAR Education Foundation website, and donors receive recognition via a framed certificate and window decal for display.
