REPO2026 Rallies for Its Own: RABF Fundraising Tops $50,000

Industry vendors, repossession agencies, and supporters united to raise more than $50,000 for the Recovery Agents Benefit Fund at REPO2026.

The Recovery Agents Benefit Fund is thrilled to issue a correction/update to a recent CURepossession post regarding our fundraising event at REPO2026! While the information reported was not incorrect, it did not give a complete picture of the outstanding fundraising support the RABF received at REPO2026.

The fundraising efforts at REPO2026 included a live auction of 40 items, auctioned off by George Badeen of Allied Finance Adjusters and the ongoing $500 club – combined these efforts raised a grand total of $50,000 – well above the $42,000 originally reported.

Industry vendors like Royal Key Supply, Miller Industries, Detroit Wrecker Sales, Wrecker Warehouse of Texas, RDN and ClearPlan, MBSi and Dynamic donated items that helped to generate these funds. 

Repossession agencies like BB Towing & Recovery in Hawaii, Maine Recovery Company, ALSCO of Tulsa & Midwest Recovery & Midwest Auto Auction also donated items that kept the bidders coming and active! We’d also like to thank individual personal donations from Wes & Dana Loan, George & Lynne Badeen, J Hinton & Bob Jordon – all helping to make the RABF live auction such a successful event!

At REPO2024, the RABF recognized companies for their ongoing support of the industry and the fund who give regularly to the fund:

American Recovery Service / PK Willis

GM Financial

Credit Acceptance Corporation

Dynamic Towing Equipment

WebWeaver USA

Final Notice Recovery (Maryland)

Rapid Recovery Agency (Florida)

Stealth Towing & Recovery Service (Texas)

Recovery Zone (Massachusetts)

Assets Biz (Illinois)

PAR North America

At REPO2026, we added more to the list who became regular supporters in late 2025 or early 2026.  This year’s awards went to:

AOC Adjusters (California)

LRM & Associates (Missouri)

ABA Recovery Service (California)

The Organizers, Exhibitors and Attendees of the North American Repossessors Summitt/ARA (in recognition of their $43,276.03 donation to the RABF raised at the 2026 North American Repossessors summit held this April, their previous contributions and continued support)

In 2027 Royal Key Supply will be joining the list of those recognized for their ongoing support of the RABF.  Not only is Royal Key Supply owner Billie Jo Stoddard an active bidder on other auction items, but Royal Key Supply regularly donates their sought-after in person classes as an item for others to bid on. They continue to support the fund regularly with their “One Key At A Time program”.  Here’s how it works, but go to their website at www.royalkeysupply.com or contact them directly to learn more:

• Send in your used OEM programmable key fobs
• Royal Key Supply evaluates the keys and assigns a purchase value
• 100% of that value is donated directly to the RABF in your company’s name
• The agency with the highest total donation by 12/31/2026 wins the SMART Pro Lite!

Will you be joining these other dedicated companies next year who give so generously of themselves to assist the industry when its members need them the most?

REPO2027 will be held June 14 -16, 2027 at the Embassy Suites in Frisco, Texas. 

Mark your calendars now and plan on showing up and showing out for the repossession industry at the REPO2027 Awards Dinner and RABF Fundraiser – sponsored again by PAR North America who committed to their ongoing sponsorship of this worthwhile cause! 

Also, you can enter to win a Dynamic Slide-In Unit where the drawing will also be held next June at REPO2027.  Suggested donation is $20 per ticket.  Go to www.recoveryagentsbenefitfund.org to enter the raffle!
