Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation to Continue Anniversary Fundraiser

July 31, 2024
After the success of AACF's 65th anniversary fundraiser, the organization will be extending it through the end of the year to maximize its impact.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) was met with great success for its 65th anniversary fundraiser, prompting the organization to extend its initiative, according to a recent press release.

In honor of AACF’s 65th anniversary, a fundraising campaign launched on April 1 and was met with enough support to provide relief to over 22 families in the aftermarket.

AACF highlighted several organizations that made notable contributions during the fundraiser, including Valvoline Global, the Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG), 2G Ventures, Automotive Parts Headquarters, Inc., Gold Eagle Co., McCourt Marketing, NA Williams, and the Washington Automotive Industry Association (WIAA).

Though the anniversary fundraiser was set to officially finish this summer, AACF has now extended it to the end of the year.

“We are deeply humbled and grateful for the incredible support we have received during this milestone campaign,” said Jon Owens, AACF board president and national sales manager at Epicor. “The generosity and compassion displayed reflect the true spirit of the automotive aftermarket community. Together, we are providing essential assistance to those facing adversity.”
