Federated Auto Parts Expands Support of UAF 

The additional support has earned Federated the Diamond Lifetime Trustee Designation.

Federated Auto Parts, a longtime patron of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation (UAF), has attained Diamond Lifetime Trustee status for its ongoing support.

“Since the founding of Federated Auto Parts nearly 40 years ago, Federated has been committed to providing the next generation of auto care professionals with scholarships and educational opportunities,” said Sue Godschalk, president of Federated Auto Parts. “Federated members take great pride in supporting the University of the Aftermarket Foundation and we are honored to be recognized as a Diamond Lifetime Trustee. We look forward to continuing to work closely with UAF and helping more young men and women achieve their goals.”

“The University of the Aftermarket Foundation thanks Federated Auto Parts and their membership for their continued generosity and support of UAF,” said Bob Egan, MAAP, chairman of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation. “Federated has supported UAF since day one and their generous patronage continues today. We are proud to administer the Federated Car Care and Art Fisher Memorial scholarships and appreciate all of the Federated volunteers who have served on our board of trustees and act as scholarship reviewers. We thank them for all they have contributed to ensure the success of the aftermarket through education.”

The University of the Aftermarket Foundation diamond trustee designation is reserved for those who have donated over $500,000 and support the UAF mission of providing scholarships and educational opportunities for the development of the next generation of aftermarket professionals. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and all contributions are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
