The Collision Industry Foundation (CIF) announced returning member Crash Champions and new member Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA) have committed to CIF’s Annual Donor Program.

This is Crash Champions’ third consecutive donation and CAPA’s first at the Urgent Care (second highest) tier.

Introduced in 2021, the Annual Donor Program was designed to provide CIF with the necessary recurring resources enabling it to deliver on its mission to “Answer the Call” when those in the industry are impacted by catastrophic events, such as accidents, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes or wildfires.

“At Crash Champions, we’re dedicated to putting people first. Whether that’s through our unique culture, attending to our customers, or making a difference in the communities we serve, we believe in being a champion for people from all walks of life,” said Matt Ebert, founder and CEO of Crash Champions. “This program, in addition to the full scope of CIF’s work, directly aligns with that mission, which is why we’re incredibly proud to partner with the organization and return as a repeat donor this year.”

“We are grateful for Crash Champions’ continued support of the Annual Donor Program,” said CIF President Casey Steffen of Norton/Saint-Gobain. “Their generosity will aid CIF in its mission to provide disaster relief assistance for those in need.”

“CAPA is proud to support the Collision Industry Foundation as an Urgent Care contributor,” said Gerry Poirier, CAPA interim chair. “We are grateful for the foundation’s dedication to support those in the collision repair industry who have been impacted by catastrophic events.”

For more than two decades, through the generous support of corporations and individuals, CIF has been able to assist hundreds of collision repair professionals in need after a disaster.
