LKQ donated $1 million to 10 charities, including the ASE Education Foundation.
The vehicle parts and accessories supplier made the donation through the LKQ Community Foundation. Each group got $50,000, with the remaining $500,000 determined by nationwide vote. The leading charities were the American Cancer Society, the Children's Miracle Network and the ASE Education Foundation. The ASE foundation will receive a total of $113,805.79.
"We want to thank LKQ for including the ASE Education Foundation in its annual LKQ Cares charitable program," says Mike Coley, president of the ASE Education Foundation. "We also want to thank all those who voted for us and everyone who supports our ongoing efforts. We are honored to receive strong financial support from across the automotive service industry. This incredibly generous donation will help us expand important programs, including Adopt-A-School, registered apprenticeship and mentor development, as well as our efforts to increase the number of women and other underrepresented groups in automotive service."
