The National Auto Body Council (NABC) is set to host its second annual NABC Gala and 30th Anniversary Celebration, themed “The Best Is Yet to Come,” on Jan. 20 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, CA.

Presented by Crash Champions, the event will coincide with Collision Industry Week.
The gala will celebrate the NABC’s three decades of service, recognizing the collective accomplishments of its members, including gifting more than 3,500 vehicles and providing extrication training for more than 6,000 first responders through its NABC Recycled Rides and NABC First Responder Emergency Extrication (F.R.E.E.) programs.

“This is an incredible opportunity for the collision repair industry to come together again to celebrate our collective efforts to give back in the communities where we live and work,” said Tom Wolf, chairman of the NABC Board of Directors.

Crash Champions CEO Matt Ebert expressed pride in supporting the NABC’s mission. “For more than 25 years, we’ve been intentional about building a culture upon the core commitment that the collision repair industry is about People First, Always,” Ebert said.

The event will feature a presentation of the NABC President’s Award, live entertainment by the Rat Pack and the Dry Martini Orchestra, and a golf outing at the Indian Wells Golf Resort’s Celebrity Course on Jan. 21. Proceeds will benefit the Changing and Saving Lives Foundation, which supports veterans, military members, families in need, and first responders.

Attendees can also take advantage of special resort rates and enjoy networking, family activities and poolside events during their stay. Additional details, including sponsorship opportunities and registration, can be found on the NABC Gala website.

The NABC Gala is expected to draw industry professionals from across the nation, further solidifying the organization’s impact on the collision repair industry and beyond.
