Crash Champions Donates Refurbished Vehicle to Veteran at NABC® Dallas Golf Fundraiser

Crash Champions, one of the nation’s fastest-growing collision repair providers, partnered with industry leaders to refurbish and donate a vehicle to a deserving veteran through the National Auto Body Council (NABC) Recycled Rides® program. The presentation took place during the NABC® Dallas Golf Fundraiser on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

As part of the event, Mitchell Marseles, a recipient supported by American GI Forum Veteran Outreach, was presented with the keys to a fully restored 2018 Toyota C-HR XLE. Donated by GEICO, the vehicle was restored by the Crash Champions team at its Little Elm location (27710 E University Drive). Through initiatives like Recycled Rides®, collision repair facilities, insurers, and industry partners come together to provide reliable transportation to individuals and families in need.

For Marseles, the donation represents more than just a vehicle; it marks a renewed sense of opportunity and forward momentum.

“This vehicle gives me the ability to move forward in a way I couldn’t before,” said Marseles. “It takes a huge weight off my shoulders and opens the door to new possibilities. I’m incredibly thankful to everyone involved for their generosity and support.”

Supporting recipients like Marseles is central to the mission of organizations such as American GI Forum Veteran Outreach, which empowers veterans by connecting them with essential resources, services, and opportunities that promote long-term stability and success.

In collaboration with partners across the industry, Crash Champions remains committed to making a meaningful impact.

“At Crash Champions, we’re proud to stand alongside our industry partners to support those who have served our country,” said Matt Ebert, Founder and CEO of Crash Champions. “Through Recycled Rides, we’re able to provide more than transportation – we’re helping create meaningful momentum for deserving veterans like Mitchell, as they continue building their future.”

Meanwhile, the NABC® Dallas Golf Fundraiser brought together members of the collision repair industry to raise awareness and support charitable initiatives, while delivering a direct, lasting impact through programs like Recycled Rides®.

As a proud Level One member of the NABC®, Crash Champions continues to support the Recycled Rides® program through vehicle restoration nationwide.
