BETHESDA, MD -- The National Catalog Managers Association (NCMA) raised $6,500 for the Aftermarket Foundation during the 34th annual NCMA Knowledge Exchange conference held in Savannah, GA, earlier this month.

Since in 2004, NCMA has used its annual conference as an opportunity to raise money and awareness for the Aftermarket Foundation, a charitable organization that assists individuals and families in the automotive aftermarket who have fallen on hard times.

“We are very pleased with the growth of our fundraising efforts. NCMA members and our vendor partners are to be congratulated for their generous and enthusiastic contributions to such an important cause,” said NCMA Past President Mark Seng of Federal-Mogul.

NCMA raised funds through a golf outing, silent auction and raffle. In addition, vendor partner Technologue sponsored a raffle for a 32-inch flat-screen television during the annual NCMA Vendor Trade Show.

“We were happy and honored to participate,” said Nick Porrini, president of Technologue and a member of the Aftermarket Foundation Board of Directors. “The Foundation is very thankful for the generosity of NCMA, its members and affiliates.”
