The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF) has announced the appointment of board trustees Luanne Brown and Lynn Parker to the AACF Executive Committee.
Brown is president of eTool Developers and had previously served on the board representing SEMA. Bob Hirsch, president of the AACF Board, said, “Luanne, as chair of the finance committee, will also serve as the foundation’s treasurer. She has been a great asset to the charity since joining the board over three years ago.”
Parker, president of Lynn Parker Associates, has been involved with AACF for more than eight years. Hirsch commented that “Lynn’s dedication and compassion to AACF has been invaluable and is highly involved in our largest fundraiser – the Bob Schoeberl Memorial Golf Tournament – held yearly in Las Vegas preceding the AAPEX/SEMA shows.
Founded in 1959 to assist members of the automotive aftermarket and their families, the AACF has distributed millions of dollars to help in times of great need. “Terrible accidents or catastrophic illness can occur suddenly, and drastically alter the life of a family,” said Joel Ayres, executive director of the AACF. “We are ready to step in to help. We often are called in after all available resources have been exhausted. That’s when we fulfill our mission: ‘To Provide Sustainable Solutions For Those In Great Need.'”
If you or someone you know needs assistance, AACF can be contacted through its website at aacfi.org or by phone at 772-286-5500. All calls and correspondence are held in the strictest of confidence and will be handled promptly. Both one-time and longer-term support is available.
