One of our speakers was from the Clean The Air Fo9undation. In 2007, the Board of Directors for the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association launched the Clear the Air Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado, where its purpose is to remove high-polluting vehicles from our roads for good. Parts of these donated vehicles — most from franchised new car dealers —can be recycled; the engine and other unrecyclable parts are crushed, which ensures they’ll never pollute Colorado’s air again. Funds received from recycling these vehicles are used to provide scholarships to students pursuing a career as Automotive technicians.
Once they graduate, many students, in turn, join franchised new car dealers in their Service departments, where they enjoy long and rewarding careers as Automotive Technicians The foundation celebrated its 10-year anniversary last year and we have since recycled over 6,000 vehicles. That has allowed us to award over 100 scholarships to Colorado auto tech students with a total value of $335,000. We accept donations from anyone and I have the vehicles picked up at no cost to the donor.
