Aug. 27, 2013—Bobby Williams, owner of Bobby & Steve’s Auto World in Eden Prairie, Minn., was named one of three “Mightiest of the Mighty” winners for work through his Bobby & Steve’s Auto World Youth Foundation.
Keith Boyd from Columbus, Ohio, and David Epperly from Columbus, Ga., were also recognized with the awards, which were presented by automotive aftermarket parts distributor Mighty Auto Parts.
Each of the three national winners was awarded a $5,000 grant.
