2023 YANG at APPEX Recap

by Mary Ieng, YANG Staff Liaison, Auto Care Association

YANG held its largest regional meet-up, the 2023 YANG Reception, at AAPEX on Oct. 31, 2023 as part of the Auto Care Association's Industry Week in Las Vegas, Nev. We had a great turnout of nearly 300 registered attendees! The reception was generously hosted by The Group.

In conjunction, YANG launched its kick-off t-shirt fundraiser benefiting the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation (AACF). We had overwhelming support and pleased to announce we raised nearly $2,000. Thank you to everyone who donated during AAPEX! The charity fundraiser will continue to run year-round.   

Save the date for the AAPEX 2024 at The Venetian Expo and Ceasars Forum in Nov. 5-7, 2024. Visit autocare.org/yang for more information.
