The Collisionn Repair Education Foundation in the U.S. has announced that 3M has donated more than $125,000 worth of tape to aid secondary and post-secondary collision programs across the U.S.
The donation of the Blue Fine Line Tape through the Collision Repair Education Foundation will ease schools' collision department budgets by providing students the opportunity to work with up-to-date supplies, says the foundation.
"In today's tough economic climate and educational budget cuts, collision repair supplies such as this tape product are not available to all collision instructors to work with in their classrooms," stated Collision Repair Education Foundation executive director, Scott Kruger. "3M's tape donation to these schools will aid secondary and post-secondary collision students nationwide."
3M Automotive Aftermarket Division Business Development Manager Mark Algie said, "3M is honored to continue our support of the Collision Repair Education Foundation and Career and Technical Schools all across the U.S. It is our hope and desire that these donations will in some small way help prepare the next generation of Collision Repair personnel for long, productive careers in our industry."
