St. Cloud, Minn. – April 17, 2013 – Prior to the kickoff of a
recent Auto Value parts stores product expo, Automotive Parts Headquarters Inc.
(APH), in partnership with more than 40 manufacturers’ representatives, hosted
its third annual chili cook-off. Nine chili dishes were entered and $20,395 was
raised, including APH’s dollar for dollar match contribution, for WACOSA, a nonprofit
day program for adults with disabilities in central Minnesota.
“APH, Auto Value and the Bartlett family are strong believers and
supporters of WACOSA,” commented Clint Gordon, area sales manager for Dorman
Products and chili cook-off champion. “Adults with disabilities are often the
hardest hit when county, state and federal funding cuts need to be made. For
that reason, we are extremely proud to help the APH team, in any way we can,
raise money and awareness for this important program.”
WACOSA connects local businesses with a workforce of more than 500 adults
with mental or physical disabilities. Through training and coaching, WACOSA workers
provide reliable and affordable business solutions through in-center work
opportunities or community employment.
