NORTHBROOK, Ill., Nov. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- During the week of
Thanksgiving, Allstate Insurance
Company and Sterling Autobody
Centers will lend a helping hand to families and charities
in need of reliable transportation. The companies are donating
refurbished automobiles through the National Auto Body Council's
(NABC) Recycled Rides Program. The vehicles have been restored to
"like new" condition by technicians at Sterling shops around the
country.
"Our participation in the Recycled Rides Program is an extension
of Allstate's commitment to serve the communities in which we do
business," said Randy Hanson,
Allstate Auto director. "It is an honor to provide reliable
transportation and help get families across the country to their
jobs, doctor's appointments or other places they couldn't go
without a ride."
Recycled Rides donation events are scheduled to happen
simultaneously in multiple cities during the week of Thanksgiving on Monday,
November 21 and Tuesday, November
22. The list of events, times and locations is
below.
"Sterling Autobody Centers has
adopted the National Auto Body Council's Recycled Rides project as
a corporate initiative," said Nick
Notte, president of Sterling
Autobody Centers and the National Auto Body Council's 2011
Recycled Rides co-chair. "It makes perfect sense – using the
resources of insurers and suppliers to provide the canvas on which
repairers can showcase their craft as an art, and to benefit
deserving charities and families around the country! Who
wouldn't want to participate?"
"Allstate has committed 60 vehicles for 2011, more than any
single insurer participant," said Notte. "We at Sterling
responded in kind, agreeing to restore 36 vehicles, more than any
single repairer or consolidator. We look forward to changing
the lives of the many families and organizations that we'll touch
on Ride-Away-Day."
