Community Collision Center owners Anthony and Debra Gross recently held a Donation Event at their place of business. The purpose of the event was to present the first donation checks from the Customer Donors Program to local non-profit organizations.
“The Donors Choice Program was designed as a perpetual funding source that encourages our customers to join us by choosing a local program that they would like to support,” Debra said. “Any Community Collision Center customer may choose a recipient from a list of local non-profit organizations. The funds are collected by setting aside one percent of each job’s gross profit for the designated charity.”
Thanks to those customers who chose CWJC to receive 1% their total repair cost.
