This year, YANG launched a new t-shirt fundraising campaign #YANGGivesBack to encourage donors to support the automotive aftermarket industry.  

For a small $20 donation to AACF, contributors receive an exclusive-edition ‘Gear Up to Give Back’ t-shirt. The official kick-off took place at the AAPEX Industry Week in Las Vegas and will continue at 2024 Auto Connect week in Chicago on May 5-8, 2024.   

Beat the rush and pre-donate ahead of time!  You can pick up onsite at the following Connect stations: 

  • Connect Registration Area (5/5-5/8)

Shirts can be picked up only on site. No delivery option.
