The organization challenges the auto care industry and the greater community to rally around those in need.

The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) announced the kickoff of its 65th-anniversary fundraising initiative. 

Beginning April 1 and running through July 1, 2024, the campaign seeks to raise $65,000 through 1,000 baseline donations of $65 each.

"As we embark on this historic fundraising initiative, we are inspired by the generosity and compassion of our supporters.
