Know Someone Doing Good? AACF Opens Nominations for Humanitarian Award

January 5, 2026 by Naseem

The Hog Ring - AACF Humanitarian Award Honors Auto Pros Who Give Back

Do you know an individual or company in our industry who helps a lot of people but never asks for anything in return? The Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation wants to honor them.

The AACF Humanitarian Award, Sponsored by Nexus, recognizes individuals, companies, associations, or groups in the aftermarket industry who have demonstrated a clear commitment to helping others through humanitarian efforts.

This award is focused on action and impact. Nominees should show compassion, selflessness, and social responsibility through efforts that have made a positive difference in their communities, whether locally, nationally, or globally. These efforts may include charitable work, community support, disaster relief, education, mentorship, or other initiatives that improve people’s lives.

Nominations are open to companies, associations, and individuals across the aftermarket industry. If you know someone whose work deserves recognition, you can submit a nomination by completing this form.

The deadline to submit is March 1, 2026.

The recipient of the AACF Humanitarian Award will be announced and presented at the MEMA Aftermarket Vision Conference on April 15, 2026.

The goal of this award is simple: to recognize those in the aftermarket industry who use their time, resources, and influence to help others. If someone comes to mind, this is an opportunity to make their work visible.
