Grand Sport Auto Body is proud to announce it’s involvement with the Believe & Achieve Foundation’s most recent donation of $15,000 to the YPAL Program.  The Believe & Achieve Foundation works  to improve the quality of life and basic needs of families in need right here in our own backyards,  aiming to develop confidence and self-esteem in the youth of our communities by raising funds for various programs and activities for the children that would otherwise be unobtainable due to financial restrictions.

The YMCA YPAL program is based out of West Chester, Pennsylvania.  The program primarily provides supervised after school care and summer camp to children ages 5 to 15 that come from low-income households.  With the youth being involved in after-school activities, it drastically improves their opportunities for success in school and in life. Without the YPAL program, many of the children enrolled in YPAL would otherwise fall victim to difficulties and struggles in school, and juvenile delinquencies.  The YMCA YPAL Program offers services to the children and their families, including mentoring, assistance with their studies and homework, games, physical activities, swim lessons,  arts and crafts, and so much more.

Fred Gunther, President of the Believe & Achieve Foundation quotes “By supporting the YPAL Program, the Believe & Achieve Foundation is helping our local children believe in themselves by increasing their self esteem and developing skills to take advantage of opportunities life may bring them.”   Fred, also the owner of all of the 8 Grand Sport Auto Body locations located in Chester and Montgomery Counties believes in giving back to the community and our children.  Grand Sport is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the Believe & Achieve Foundation.

Quoted from a recent press release, “This donation to the YPAL program is the result of a yearlong promotional campaign led by The Believe & Achieve Foundation and Grand Sport Auto Body, a local collision repair company and platinum sponsor of the Believe and Achieve Foundation. Money was raised through the combined efforts of both organizations through the Foundation’s Annual Charity Golf Outing, individual and corporate contributions, corporate sponsored events and numerous fundraising campaigns driven by Grand Sport Auto Body.

The Believe & Achieve Foundation donates 100% of its contributions to their outreach programs and is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit foundation.   For more information on the foundation, or to make tax deductible donations, please visit www.BelieveAndAchieveFoundation.org.
