The APA board of directors agreed that supporting those who lost so much is the right thing to do.

“Now, as the Caribbean, Florida and the East Coast braces for Hurricane Irma, our thoughts go out to everyone in the area and [we] encourage everyone in the aftermarket to reach out to one another to help where we can,” said Rob Jacobs, vice chairman of the board, Automotive Parts Associates.
