Fix Auto Rocklin in Rocklin, CA, hosted a large-scale back-to-school charity event that collected two full vehicle loads of supplies and donations on Aug. 31. The event benefited the Rocklin Unified School District and the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento, bringing together community members, families, vendors, car enthusiasts and luxury vehicles, with raffles, vendor booths and a Porsche design artist among the attractions.
“It was incredible to see our community show up with such heart,” said Eric Dunivan, owner of Fix Auto Rocklin. “We had everything from high end cars to school backpacks, and every donation made a difference. Giving back is part of who we are, and I couldn’t be prouder of the impact we made together.”
A key moment of the day came when Dakota, a 21-year-old woman who once lived at the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento, shared her powerful and emotional journey, reflecting on her past and how she now dedicates herself to supporting children who are walking the same path she once did.
The partnership with the Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento was formed after Fix Auto Rocklin connected with Cars and Coffee Sacramento, where they met event organizer Namde and coordinated the joint effort.
“Fix Auto Rocklin’s back-to-school event is a model for how local businesses can drive meaningful community change,” said Damien Reyna, COO, Collision, Driven Brands. “Eric and his team exemplify the mission of Fix Auto USA — repairing more than just vehicles, but restoring hope and opportunity in the communities we serve.”
