65th anniversary fundraiser for AACF extended

July 30, 2024
Originally set to end at the start of July, the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable foundation has extended their fundraising campaign to the end of the year.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF), a 501c3 supporting people in the automotive aftermarket industry and their families during hard moments in their lives, has extended its 65th-anniversary fundraising campaign.

Launched on April 1, the campaign was supposed to end on July 1 but is now set to end at the end of the year in an effort to expand support initiatives. Funds raised thanks to the support of partners, industry members, and others will support more than 22 families in the automotive aftermarket. 

AACF wants to recognize several organizations that they feel stand out for their contributions:

  • 2G Ventures
  • Automotive Parts Headquarters, Inc. 
  • Gold Eagle Co.
  • McCourt Marketing
  • NA Williams
  • Valvoline Global
  • Washington Automotive Industry Association (WIAA)
  • Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG)

"We are deeply humbled and grateful for the incredible support we have received during this milestone campaign," said Jon Owens, president of the board for AACF and national sales manager for 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."
