DISASTER RELIEF FUND<br />
NCADA Assists Dealership Employees in Wake of Hurricane<br />
In an effort to help industry employees that have<br />
been seriously impacted by Hurricanes Florence<br />
and Michael, NCADA’s Executive Committee<br />
voted to activate the NCADA Disaster Relief Fund.<br />
The Fund, which was originally started in the<br />
wake of Hurricane Fran, has provided much<br />
needed assistance to NCADA member employees<br />
during Hurricanes Fran, Floyd, and Isabella.<br />
“Our goal is to help those dealership employees<br />
whose lives were significantly impacted by the<br />
storm. We have a longtime tradition of helping<br />
one another in North Carolina and this Fund will<br />
be used to assist employees and their families<br />
who suffered major flood damage as a result of<br />
the storm,” noted NCADA Chairman Tim Ilderton<br />
from Ilderton Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in High Point.<br />
NCADA has been working in partnership with<br />
NADA’s Emergency Relief Fund to identify and<br />
assist as many industry employees as possible.<br />
NCADA’s Disaster Relief Fund has been used to<br />
supplement funds granted to individuals by<br />
NADA. General managers were urged to ensure<br />
that all dealership employees were aware of the<br />
assistance available to them.<br />
So far the Disaster Relief Fund has been able to<br />
assist more than 600 industry employees and<br />
their families.<br />
Any additional, donations to the NCADA<br />
Disaster Relief Fund can be made to:<br />
NCADA Charitable Foundation<br />
P.O. Box 12167<br />
Raleigh, NC 27605<br />
Please indicate “NCADA Disaster Relief Fund” in<br />
the memo line.<br />
“The biggest thing is to take care of your family<br />
and take care of your employees; everything<br />
else is insured. We can fix everything else.”<br />
President Robert Glaser stated the Wednesday<br />
afternoon before Hurricane Florence made<br />
landfall. NCADA has activated the Disaster<br />
Relief Fund to do just this. “One hundred<br />
percent of the funds collected will be used to<br />
assist North Carolina’s dealership employees.<br />
Thank you for your most appreciated support,”<br />
commented Chairman Ilderton.<br />
The application for the NADA Emergency Relief<br />
Fund for dealership employees can be found<br />

NCADA continues to send our thoughts and<br />
prayers to all affected by the storm.
