Federated Auto Parts members and suppliers raised a record-breaking $272,000 for the United States Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program during its annual auction.
“The generosity of Federated members and supplier partners is unsurpassed. We want to thank all of them for their incredible kind-heartedness, making our annual Toys for Tots auction another huge success,” said Rusty Bishop, CEO of Federated Auto Parts. “Everyone associated with Federated, whether members, car care customers or vendors, has shown strong support of the Toys for Tots campaign and for that we are very thankful.”
Items auctioned to benefit Toys for Tots included a personal appearance from Federated spokesperson Kenny Schrader, “Get Dirty with Kenny” dirt track race weekends, and a number of Federated Auto Parts 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup activities, including driving the pace car, waving the green flag and serving as the starter of the “last race before the chase.” Hunting and fishing trips, and the chance to dine with head auctioneer Bishop during AWDA, were also auctioned.
