October 24, 2017 By CollisionWeek Editor

The Collision Industry Foundation (CIF) announced today that its current relief efforts to Hurricane Harvey and Irma victims would be extended to those in need of assistance affected by the fires in California as well as the Hurricane damage to Puerto Rico.  

Collision Industry Foundation logoCIF has raised funds that are being distributed directly to all industry professionals including body techs, painters, CSR’s, estimators, adjusters, paint distributors and all other professionals in the collective collision repair industry. 

“Our focus has widened as these other natural disasters have impacted more collision industry professionals beyond Hurricanes Harvey & Irma,” stated William Shaw, CIF Chair and PPG Director of Business Development. “We are prepared to help more thanks to the generous donations by the industry at large.”

Those seeking aid or wanting on how to make a tax-deductible donation can find information at the CIF website.

“Our committee of volunteers contacts and vets those seeking aid and ensures that all donations are going directly to our fellow industry professionals,” stated Michael Quinn, CIF Relief Chair. “We have local ‘boots on the ground’ who are getting the word out and vetting individuals and repair facilities.”
