The Minnesota Volunteer I-CAR Committee, along with SkillsUSA, had a successful golf outing at the beautiful Oak Glen Golf Club in Stillwater on Wednesday, September 17.

The proceeds from the outing support technical schools and students with scholarships and grants to continue the successful growth of the collision repair industry.

AASPMN sponsored a hole at the event to help support industry education. The event was well attended and a great give-back opportunity for the industry.

Congratulations to the team from LKQ/Keystone who won first place with a score of -11! They were:

1. Bob Auman

2. Jim Hillman

3. Mitch Langer

4. Dustin Jamison

Team Blue Rock Refinishing Solutions tied for first place also with a score of -11! They were:

2. Luke Vang

3. Hue Vang

4. Robert Latuff

There were also many prize winners with all the donations received for the event that were presented during an awards banquet following golf.

“We couldn’t do it without our sponsors,” said tournament coordinator, Jamison Randall. Special thanks to the Event Sponsor Gerber Collison, Dinner/Reception Sponsor LKQ/Keystone, and so many local shops and vendors. “We are pleased we were able to raise over $8,000 to be used for scholarships and grants to help future auto body employees provide safe and quality repairs for

consumers.”

Next year’s event will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at Oak Glen in Stillwater MN.
