Car Donation Wizard & Advanced Remarketing Services are very proud to announce our newest charity partner; Shatterproof. Founded in August 2013 by CEO Gary Mendell to honor his son who was tragically lost to addiction and overdose. The organization’s mission is to increase access to recovery, prevention, and mental health resources for everyone who needs them. Our company has similarly lost friends and family members to the disease of addiction. The work we can do with Shatterproof will hopefully make a difference in the world.
About Shatterproof
Gary’s son, Brian, was a loving child, full of smiles and light. Like so many children, as he entered his teenage years, Brian tried drugs and alcohol and like far too many, this led to addiction. For almost 10 years, Brian battled this disease and its cycle of shame, isolation, and failure.
