As Hurricane Florence barrels towards the East coast, and with the 2018 Hurricane season in full swing, the CIF wants to bring awareness of its’ mission and seek support of this cause. The Disaster Relief Task Force has reached out to shops in California and the Pacific northwest during this summer’s fire season and more recently to the Automotive Body & Paint Association of Hawaii (ABPAH) after Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lane hit the islands. “It’s comforting to know the Collision Industry Foundation exists to assist our fellow brothers and sisters impacted by natural disasters,” stated Dale Matsumoto of Auto Body Hawaii and board member of ABPAH. “Fortunately, so far this hurricane season, the Hawaiian Islands were spared from major damage, but we appreciate the work of the volunteers at CIF and encourage all industry participants to support their mission.” Bill Shaw, CIF President and PPG Director of Business Development, stated, “As we look to the fall season and 2019, we encourage all industry stakeholders to support our efforts and to make tax deductible donations to support those who may be impacted. We hope that no one has to experience what many did last year, but know that we at CIF stand ready to serve when the need arises. We thank all our donors who enable us to serve the industry.” “We’re prepared to step in and help those in our industry as we did last year after Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and the wildfires in California,” stated Michael Quinn, CIF Disaster Relief Task Force Chairman and SVP of Business Development at AirPro Diagnostics. “If you or others you know are impacted by any storms or other natural disasters, please go to the CIF website and request aid.” About CIF: The Collision Industry Foundation (CIF)is the 501(c)3 charitable arm of the collision repair industry. We are dedicated to raising, managing and donating funds to provide emergency relief to the collective repair community at large who have been impacted by natural disasters or other catastrophic events.
