In collaboration with the National Auto Body Council and the NABC Recycled Rides® initiative, four vehicles were gifted across two special events at Stadium Auto Parts and Topgolf Centennial ahead of the official start of the URG Conference w/Team PRP 2026.

A huge thank you to our URG members Stadium Auto Parts, Kosiski Auto Parts, AAA Auto Parts, APS, and Central Auto Parts for helping provide the recycled parts needed to get these vehicles road ready.

The CIF - Collision Industry Foundation is delighted to announce that URG - United Recyclers Group has once again pledged its support to the CIF Annual Donor Program, at the URGENT CARE level, which is the second highest tier of giving.

The Program, launched in 2021, was created to secure consistent and essential resources for the Foundation. These resources enable CIF to fulfill its mission of “Answering the Call” by assisting members of the collision repair industry affected by catastrophic events such as accidents, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, or wildfires. Contributions to the program are tax deductible, offering an additional incentive for supporters.

Thanks to the generosity of corporations and individuals, over the past twenty-plus years CIF has helped
hundreds of collision repair professionals after disasters. The continued support from URG for the Annual
Donor Program will allow the Foundation to maintain its disaster relief efforts and extend assistance to those in the industry who need it most.

“URG is proud to continue supporting the Collision Industry Foundation and the important work they do for members of our industry during times of crisis,” said United Recyclers Group. “Our industry is built on
relationships, resilience, and people helping people, and CIF’s mission reflects those values perfectly. We are honored to support an organization that is there for collision repair professionals when they need it most.”

One of everyone’s favorite parts of the URG Conference w/Team PRP 2026? The networking.

Our Thursday night reception was just one of many opportunities for vendors, recyclers, and industry partners to come together, catch up and meet new people.

From long-time industry friendships to brand-new connections, the room was full of conversations, laughs, and collaboration, exactly what this conference is all about.
