Crash Champions Presents $200,000 to Collision Engineering at 11th Annual Charity Golf Outing

DANA POINT, Calif., Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Crash Champions Collision Repair Team today proudly announced a $200,000 contribution to Collision Engineering, presented at the organization's Charity Golf Outing. The presentation marked the capstone of Crash Champions' 11^th annual signature fundraising event, which brings together hundreds of collision repair industry professionals, vendors, and partners to raise funds for deserving non-profit organizations.

The 2024 Golf Outing, which took place Dec. 5 at Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point, California, marked the event's first contribution to Collision Engineering as part of Crash Champions' growing commitment to support the organization.

Co-founded by the Enterprise Mobility Foundation and Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, Collision Engineering was created in 2020 to proactively address the technician shortage by fostering collaboration between education and industry to develop a sustainable pipeline of skilled professionals who are well-equipped to perform proper and safe vehicle repairs.

"The entire Collision Engineering team, along with our network of partner schools, instructors and students, are so grateful for the generosity of Crash Champions and all the collision repair industry partners who contributed to this incredible donation," said Mary Mahoney, vice president at Enterprise Mobility. "Enterprise Mobility has a huge stake in the health of the automotive repair industry and is committed to doing our part to invest in its success. But we absolutely cannot do it alone. Contributions like this one exemplify the importance of industry partners coming together to address the global technician shortage and develop the next generation of collision repair professionals."

The $200,000 gift is the single largest donation in the 11-year history of the Crash Champions Charity Golf Outing. Funds were raised through participation in the golf outing along with a corresponding auction and direct contributions by participants.

"At Crash Champions, our vision statement is 'We Champion People', and this event symbolizes just how the industry can come together to make a significant positive impact for an organization that is committed to investing in young people," said Crash Champions Founder and CEO Matt Ebert. "Collision Engineering's program is inspiring and training the next generation of technicians by connecting them with forward-thinking colleges and a hands-on apprenticeship model that prepares them for a successful career. We're proud to support their team and are grateful for the hundreds of partners and vendors who made this event a tremendous success."
