The organization challenges the auto care industry and the greater community to rally around those in need.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) announced the kickoff of its 65th-anniversary fundraising initiative. 

Beginning April 1 and running through July 1, 2024, the campaign seeks to raise $65,000 through 1,000 baseline donations of $65 each. 

AACF, a 501c3 supporting people in the automotive aftermarket industry and their families during the hardest moments of their lives, helps to provide financially for those struck by sudden illness and death due to natural disasters and other circumstances. 

"Over the past 65 years, AACF has remained unwavering in its commitment to supporting members of the automotive aftermarket community during their most challenging moments," said Joel Ayres, AACF executive director in a press release. "As we embark on this historic fundraising initiative, we are inspired by the generosity and compassion of our supporters. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those facing adversity, demonstrating the industry's unwavering dedication to taking care of its own."
