ATLANTA, October 14, 2025 – Manheim raised $519,788 in its 2025 Back-to-School campaign benefiting Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This surpasses last year’s total by more than $160,000, making it the highest Back-to-School fundraising total in Manheim’s history.
This achievement coincides with Manheim’s 80th anniversary, a milestone that underscores its long-standing commitment to community impact and youth empowerment. Now in its fifth year, the campaign reached new heights thanks to strategic collaboration with Manheim’s sales teams and generous contributions from Manheim clients, including Element, Hertz and Pinnacle Remarketing Powered by Location Services.
“This campaign is a powerful reflection of what continues to define Manheim after 80 years in business – our enduring values and the incredible passion our people have for giving back,” said Alan Lang, senior vice president of Physical Services and Auctions at Cox Automotive. “Supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of America is more than a tradition for us. It’s a promise to invest in the future of our communities and the young people who will shape them.”
Beyond fundraising, several Manheim auction locations welcomed local Boys & Girls Club leaders and youth for site visits and community-building activities. These moments helped foster meaningful connections between Manheim team members and the neighborhoods they serve. All funds raised through the campaign will remain in the local Boys & Girls Club markets where they were generated, ensuring that young people across the country have access to the tools and support they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Manheim’s partnership with Boys & Girls Club of America continues to thrive thanks to the organization’s strong local presence. With Clubs located in close proximity to nearly every auction site, employees can make a tangible impact right where they work.
“We are incredibly proud to deepen our partnership with Manheim. The need is urgent: America requires the next generation of leaders fostered at our Clubs, and those Club kids deserve champions like Manheim to invest in their success,” commented Chad Hartman, national vice president of Corporate Partnership and Engagement at Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “This campaign allows us to deliver life-changing opportunities and secure a brighter future for every child we serve.”
As Manheim looks beyond this milestone year, it remains committed to deepening local partnerships and empowering the next generation.
