Recycled Rides Program Proves to be a Great Success
Sports & Imports Collision and Family Promise of Lawrenceville
combine efforts to donate vehicle to family in need.
Duluth, November 28th, 2012 — With the help of Family Promise, Sports & Imports Collision a member of the National Auto Body Council (NABC), delivered a 2011 KIA Soul to Ms. Rahandice Fortune in a ceremony at Sports & Import s. The project was part of a nationwide vehicle donation program called Recycled Rides, a community awareness project whereby members of NABC repair and donate recycled vehicles to families in need. As part of this program, simultaneous vehicle donations took place throughout the country on Wednesday, November 28.
“We are exceptionally pleased with the results of the project,” states Michelle Coombs. “The vehicle was well received and all of our staff worked hard to make the donation a reality. The Fortune family was extremely grateful and we wish them a great holiday season. Hopefully, having this vehicle will brighten their lives and make it easier for them to accomplish the daily tasks most of us take for granted.
“I want to thank our staff and our vendors, Rick Case KIA in Duluth, BASF, Finish Masters, Tip Top Class, Wheel Wizard, Enterprise Rental Car in addition to Met-Life who donated the vehicle. This would not have happened without their combined efforts.
“We appreciate all those who attended the event, at which we presented the vehicle—decorated with a huge green bow—to the Fortune family. We look forward to participating again next year and we invite other auto body repair facilities in our community to join us so our industry can serve even more local families next year.”
“The event was a great success,” says Brent Bohanan of Family Promise. “We’re proud to be a part of Recycled Rides. The family is just thrilled to have reliable transportation. Sports & Imports Collision did a great job getting the vehicle ready.”
Sports & Imports Collision has always been proud of the charities its supports. Being able to give a family in need a form of transportation is an honor. We pride our selves in the work we do at both of our locations, Chamblee and Duluth, and are thankful for the ability to help the Fortune Family.
