The Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) is organizing a silent auction fundraiser on Friday, February 28th which will take place at the I-CAR 2025 National Conference in Houston. 100% of the funds raised will benefit CREF, helping to fuel the future of the collision repair industry by enhancing their ability to support high school and college collision programs, students, and instructors across the country.
You can support CREF by donating an item to the auction. Popular silent auction items include:
- Gift Baskets: Gourmet food, spa essentials, or wine and cheese themes.
- Gift Certificates: Restaurants, spas, stores, or services—or create a gift card tree!
- Unique Experiences: Concert tickets, theater shows, cooking classes, or adventure activities.
- Travel Packages: Weekend getaways, hotel stays, or timeshares.
- Artwork: Original pieces or prints from local artists.
- Sports Memorabilia: Autographed items or collector’s gear from local teams.
