At this year’s live auction, RABF committee chairman, John Michel of WebWeaver USA
introduced David Baker of PK Willis d/b/a American Recovery Service as the newest member of the RABF Advisory Committee. The committee is responsible for promoting the RABF throughout their interactions in the industry and to review applications for assistance that come in and make disbursement recommendations. The committee is comprised of representatives from industry trade groups and individuals like David Baker who reached out to the RABF looking to get involved and help. David presented the RABF with a check in the amount of $5000.00 with a pledge for PK Willis d/b/a American Recovery Service to continue making monthly donations in the amount of $500.00 moving forward.
The RABF would also like to thank Credit Acceptance Corporation for their continued support. They have started annual fundraising initiatives at their offices and this year, presented the RABF with a $2000 donation raised through the sale of chocolate covered pretzels in their office. Tiny Sebastian of CAC was on-hand to attend the conference and while not a fan of public presentations, was recognized for CAC’s effort in supporting the repossession industry.
In total $29,474.00 was raised for the benefit of the RABF at this event and fun was had by all who participated and watched this interactive event.
