The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) has announced a new initiative to support its 65th anniversary in 2024.
Since its establishment in 1959, AACF has been at the forefront of providing vital assistance to individuals and families facing unimaginable hardships. AACF has been there when industry members need it most, from natural disasters to catastrophic medical conditions and life-altering accidents.
To mark this significant occasion, AACF has announced the launch of its 65th anniversary fundraiser. The goal? To rally 1,000 generous donors to contribute just $65 each. With your valued support, AACF can continue its mission of making a positive impact in the lives of those in our industry who need it most.
