Hello, friends, and happy summer.<br />
ONE MORE<br />
THING<br />
The winter and even the spring was brutal here in Upstate New York, so I am happy to have the sun shining<br />
overhead. I know in the last issue of Auto Detailing News I wrote about the passings of Chris Evans and<br />
Daryl Lyons, two industry magnates who were always so kind to me. I have had the pleasure of getting to know<br />
Chris’s partner, Jaqueline Hawkins. Jaqueline is an amazing person, and through her grief, has been able to<br />
help others. “Thank you so much for helping us share this information. Yes, missing him is hard but this labor<br />
of love is a great distraction,” she wrote to me. So, in her honor, and in Chris’s memory, I would like to use the<br />
forum to promote his charity.<br />
The Christopher Evans Foundation is designed to educate individuals in the best practices in detailing, vehicle appearance improvements<br />
(window tinting, paint protection film, paint correction, etc.), and safety on the job site. The Foundation focuses primarily<br />
on training at-risk youth and returning citizens on Chicago’s South and West sides, and preparing them for entry level employment<br />
or the opportunity to become an entrepreneur; and/or expand their service offerings.<br />
For more information, please contact his friend and mentor<br />
