And the Winner of the 2022 RABF Dynamic Slide In Unit Raffle Is…?

Congratulations to Ms. Ana Favela of Lalo’s Towing in Illinois. She (and her husband, pictured below)) are the lucky winner of the Dynamic Slide In Unit donated by Anthony Gentile and Dynamic Towing Equipment and Manufacturing. This year’s drawing was held at the Baltimore Tow Show, presented by American Towman Expo and we would like to thank both Dynamic and American Towman for their support!

Ana and her husband entered the drawing when together they purchased 2 raffle tickets Saturday (11/19/22) afternoon. Ana came back and purchased 2 more tickets in her name a bit later and ended up having her ticket pulled by a young volunteer we pulled off the show floor (pictured in the photo to the right) to draw the winning ticket. She was happy to support the work of the Recovery Agents Benefit Fund and excited to win this year’s raffle!

The Recovery Agents Benefit Fund has disbursed over $44,000 in 2022 and over $685,000 to date. Nine (9) families have received the assistance of the fund so far this year and the year is not over yet.

Without Dynamic’s generous donation of a slide in unit each year, the RABF would not be able to help as many families as we do. Valued at over $10,000 the donated unit raises thousands of dollars annually that contribute to the RABF, providing financial help to families affected by the dangers of the repossession industry and the unfortunate circumstances that may prevent those in the industry from being able to plan for unexpected circumstance that can arise and devastate a family.

As an individual, there are many ways to help! You can purchase raffle tickets as the lucky Ana Favela did OR you can make donations online through our website (www.recoveryagentsbenefitfund.org). PayPal will allow you to do a 1 time donation or to set up recurring donations daily, weekly, monthly or annually! We will also happily accept your personal or business check via mail to PO Box 4102, Manassas, VA 20108! Or if you would like to set up donations drafted from your checking/savings account or paycheck, contact us for our account information.

The RABF also has supporters who set up their camera car revenue shares to come directly to the RABF, and has several companies with employees who support the fund through payroll deductions each pay period. We also cannot neglect to mention the continued support of American Recovery Service/PK Willis who donates monthly to the RABF, organizations like PAR North America, Primeritus, Credit Acceptance Corp and NARS who have donated through different fundraising events within their companies.

You can also plan on attending REPO23 hosted by Recovery Specialist Insurance Group (RSIG) and Allied Finance Adjusters in Detroit next June 20-23 at the Motor City Hotel and Casino and can particpate in the live auction to support the RABF. Many of our event attendees and exhibitors donate fantastic items to be auctioned off. You can also join the $500 club at this event or anytime!

The Recovery Agents Benefit Fund is a recognized 501c3 charitable organization. Approximately 96% of funds collected by the fund directly benefit members (and their families) of the repossession industry, with no director or advisory committee member receiving any sort of salary or compensation from the fund – each serving as a volunteer. The remaining 4% goes to administrative costs to maintain the funds like state filing fees, shipping & printing costs, and credit card provider processing fees.
