Manheim’s drive to make a difference in its locations’ communities has yielded record-breaking results.

The auction company said its annual back-to-school campaign to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America raised a record $236,022 in 2023.

Funds will remain in the markets where they were raised to help provide local young people with the tools they need to succeed.

“This year’s fundraising effort was second to none, and I could not be prouder of our team’s passion for giving back to such a meaningful cause,” Manheim division vice president Alan Lang said in a news release. “From our general managers and assistant general managers to our sales, field marketing and facilities teams, it was a true labor of love that paid off in a big way for the youth served by Boys & Girls Clubs in our local communities.”

The campaign is a part of an initiative by Manheim’s parent company, Cox Enterprises, to empower 34 million people to live more prosperous lives by 2034. That includes providing access to lifelong education by breaking down educational barriers and supporting youth in achieving their potential.

This year’s national Manheim back-to-school campaign included pie-in-the-face events, dunk tanks, school supply drives, ice bucket challenges and more. Manheim’s clients also took part – most notably Remarketing by Element, which contributed an additional $60,000 based on Manheim’s top 20 fundraising locations.
