Charitable Match
Through our Matching Gifts program, we match charitable donations made by our employees to a select group of 501(c)(3) charities, including local ones like the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York.
IDA Scholarship
We donate to the IDA Scholarship, which offers college training programs to individuals interested in pursuing a career in detailing.
COVID-19 Supply Donations
As a detailing products supplier, some of the products we carry include personal protective equipment (PPE). We donated nitrile gloves, N95 masks, and sanitizer to local hospitals in need.
Huge Heart
One of our close friends had Cardiomyopathy, a weakening of the heart muscle. We built his website HugeHeart.org, helped him get his blog set up, and Mike designed the shirts that his team wears in the annual Capital Region Heart Walk.
Fundraising For Medical Expenses
We donated a portion of sales to our Ask-a-Pro Blog Author Brian Guy who was battling stage 3 squamous cell skin cancer. Our social media campaign helped increase awareness and encourage others to contribute towards a great cause. We are also proud of our fellow Ask-a-Pro Authors who made large contributions to help Brian!
Saratoga Auto Museum
We have donated detailing products to the Saratoga Auto Museum.
