The Crash Champions Collision Repair Team joined hands with the National Auto Body Council®, the Loma Linda Children's Hospital and local nonprofit organizations to pull off a celebratory vehicle giveaway Jan. 17.
The emotional giveaway took place at the Tahquitz Creek Golf Resort as part of the NABC Recycled Rides® program at the organization’s annual charity golf tournament.
The recipient, who was nominated alongside her daughter for the giveaway by Loma Linda Children’s Hospital, received a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. The vehicle was donated by GEICO and restored to like-new condition by team members from Crash Champions’ North Long Beach repair center.
The vehicle will provide reliable personal transportation to the daughter’s regular medical appointments.
Certified Crash Champions technicians volunteered time and expertise to fully refurbish the vehicle in time for the giveaway. The company is a regular participant in NABC Recycled Rides events across the country, taking part in more than 50 in 2022 alone as a Level One partner of the NABC.
“This is yet another opportunity for the team members across Crash Champions to band together with our business partners and local nonprofit organizations in support of a local family in need,” said Matt Ebert, CEO and founder of Crash Champions. “Today’s giveaway is another example of the life change that NABC Recycled Rides consistently delivers, and we’re grateful to play a small part in another successful giveaway. It’s our hope that this vehicle provides a sense of freedom and opportunity for this family.”
