University of the Aftermarket Foundation seeks support for aftermarket education

Dec. 6, 2012
Foundation funds millions for grants, scholarships, research and education.

As the year comes to an end, the University of the Aftermarket Foundation asks industry members to consider a tax deductible donation to the foundation to fund educational programs that attract and develop future industry leaders.

“The University of the Aftermarket Foundation has a long history of investing in the future of the aftermarket through education,” said Rusty Bishop, chairman of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. “This investment has paid off and would not have been possible without the generous contributions from many industry firms and individuals. As the year comes to an end, we ask each member of our industry to consider making a tax-deductible donation to the University of the Aftermarket Foundation to enhance the support of these worthy programs.”

Over the past 25 years, the University of the Aftermarket Foundation has funded millions of dollars of scholarships, grants, research and ongoing educational programs to help develop a talented, knowledgeable aftermarket work force. The foundation seeks to grow its donor list in order to attract talented individuals to the aftermarket.

“Education is the key to the long-term success of an industry, and the aftermarket is no different,” said Bishop. “Now is the time to increase our investment in the future of our industry. Together we can make a big difference.”
