Keystone Automotive is Largest Supporter for Collision Industry Foundation Fundraiser

POMONA, Calif.--Nov. 1, 2005--Keystone Automotive Industries, Inc. has successfully raised over $80,000 for the 2005 Collision Industry Foundation (CIF) fundraising campaign. With the aid of Keystone Automotive, the campaign's largest supporter, and countless others, funds were raised enabling the Collision Industry Foundation and National Auto Body Council to purchase a new full sized bus to accommodate the needs of every camper attending Camp Mak-A-Dream.

"Keystone Automotive Team members have exhibited a great deal of enthusiasm among themselves and their customers. Their efforts enabled us to meet our goal of buying a specially equipped bus for Camp Mak-A-Dream," said Karen Fierst, Chairman for the 2005 Hop on the Bus Campaign. All funds raised over what was needed to purchase the bus went towards other important CIF projects. The new bus will be displayed at the 2005 NACE Expo on November 3-5.

The winner of the drawing will be chosen on November 1, 2005 at the Collision Industry Night of Achievement in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Grand Prize winner will receive a trip for two to the 2006 NASCAR Daytona 500 including race tickets, hospitality tent tickets, airfare and lodging.

There will be six runner-up prizes of $2,000 gift certificates to stores such as Circuit City and Best Buy, as well as certificates that can be used for air travel on American, United and Delta airlines. Additionally, the individuals selling the winning tickets are eligible for $1,000 gift certificates.
