Organizations interested in joining the movement to preserve America\u2019s automotive legacy are welcome to join and expand AAT\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParticipating institutions can benefit from the Trust\u2019s expertise in education, fundraising, management, marketing, events and more. This reduces financial and staffing needs as they achieve cost-efficiencies by sharing marketing, development, finance, accounting and other administrative services,\u201d explained Madeira. \u201cMost importantly, collaboration in strategic planning and programs reduces redundancy of effort and facilitates the first concerted attempt to secure America\u2019s automotive heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each of the founding organizations plays a role within the Trust as part of its larger heritage effort. LeMay serves as AAT\u2019s repository for automotive treasures and a gathering place for enthusiasts, with educational programs for all ages, rotating exhibits and events. RPM provides services, resource sharing, grant giving and mentorship to accelerate the growth of the next generation of automotive restoration and preservation craftsmen with rewarding careers in the collector car industry. Club Auto, through its partnership with Hagerty, promotes AAT\u2019s vision to reach a broader audience by providing the enthusiast community with activities such as driving days, race events and track days for their collectible and modern vehicles. The Concours Club heads high-level philanthropic efforts to obtain funding for AAT and its entities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy creating an alliance of like-minded organizations, our vision for continuing America\u2019s rich automotive pastime can have a greater impact upon the millions of collector car enthusiasts around the globe,\u201d concluded Madeira. \u201cA coalition to support the success of these institutions is vital to securing America\u2019s automotive heritage and building an endowment to support those which share in that vision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information please visit <a
