How The Super Bowl Is Going to Make A Difference for Vehicles For Change

On this Saturday before the Super Bowl, we're talking about the More Than Cars Super Bowl Charity Smack Down.
The auto industry is getting competitive, but this time, it's not about sales—it's about football and charity. ASOTU and a team of industry partners are turning the Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl showdown into a friendly (but fierce) wager for Vehicles for Change, an organization that trains formerly incarcerated individuals as ASE-certified techs and provides free cars to those in need.
- How it works: Go to ASOTU.Com/superbowl - Pick a team, pledge a donation—and if your team loses, you donate.
- Winners get bragging rights for a year, but donating even if you win makes you even cooler. Trash talk is encouraged (but keep it classy).
- Industry leaders, including Danny Zaslavsky, Paul Anton Faletti Jr., and Brandiss Drummer, Paul and David Regn are putting their pride on the line with jersey bets and chants.
- Thanks to Steve Greenfield, Automotive Ventures, NCM Associates, VINCUE, Stream Companies and Vehicles for Change for helping bring all this together really quickly
