Fenech Foundation Pledges $500K to RV Learning Center – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
FAIRFAX, Va. – Staked by a $500,000 donation, the RV Dealership Employee Emergency Relief Program is a new joint initiative between the Ron & Lisa Fenech Family Foundation and the Mike Molino RV Learning Center. The initiative is designed to provide financial assistance to RV dealership employees experiencing hardship due to natural disasters and other catastrophic events that lead to major expense or loss of income.
Current employees of RV dealerships can apply for one-time grants of up to $2,500. Hardships that may qualify for assistance include immediate family health issues and catastrophic incidents such as damage due to natural disasters, home fires, or flooding. The program is expressly for all RV dealership employees. RV dealership owners/principals are not eligible.
“Our own family has seen first-hand how emergency financial assistance can make a big difference to families and individuals experiencing a health crisis or other catastrophic event,” said Ron Fenech, president and co-founder of Brinkley RV. “The RV business has been very good to me and my family. This program is a way for us to give something back to the industry.”
“Helping dealership employees is a core value of the RV Learning Center,” said RV Learning Center Chairman of the Board Jeff Pastore. “We thank Ron, and the Fenech family, for supporting dealership employees through this special emergency relief program that will provide some financial relief during difficult times.”
Application forms are available online through the RV Learning Center website at this link. Approved funds will be disbursed directly to the employee or a designated service provider on the employee’s behalf.
The RV Learning Center, a 501c3 charitable organization, is supported by dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and other RV industry members committed to dealership education and the high level of customer service provided by educated employees.
