The Collision Industry Foundation (CIF) has announced the launch of its “Blanket the City: Detroit” campaign, a broad-based fundraising effort to support the Motor City that has been especially hard hit by economic changes in the automotive industry. The campaign seeks to raise $200,000 and encourage 3000 volunteer hours in service by December 31, 2009. Funds raised by the CIF for the campaign will be used to blanket the city by providing assistance to the following worthy organizations that serve Detroit: Downtown Detroit Partnership (www.dowtowndetroit.org) , GLEANERS Foodbank (www.gcfb.org). All funds collected will be distributed equally amongst the two charities. Donors to the “Blanket the City: Detroit” project will be recognized on the Collision Industry Foundation Web site and in communications to the industry on this effort.
