RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC — The Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) has donated $5,000 to the “Be Car Care Aware,” campaign in honor of the Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA).

“Automotive parts manufacturers and warehouse distributors are partners in keeping America’s motor vehicles running smoothly and safely,” said Bob McKenna, president and CEO of MEMA. “Through the aftermarket supply chain, manufacturers and distributors keep the parts and products flowing to the auto service providers and consumers throughout this country. It is our pleasure to honor the AWDA and its members with our donation to this worthy industry-wide effort.”

McKenna added that he hopes the donation will spark the industry interest in April’s National Car Care Month activities.
