ADESA and EMKAY Raise $50,000 for JDRF

CARMEL, Ind.—ADESA, a business unit of KAR Auction Services (NYSE: KAR), today announced that ADESA auctions and EMKAY have together raised more than $50,000 in 2016 to support the research efforts of JDRF, the world leader in funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

Between March 1 and November 30, EMKAY and ADESA each made a $10 donation for every EMKAY vehicle purchased at 20 participating ADESA auction locations. The total raised during the nine-month campaign was $52,460.

Since EMKAY and ADESA formed a fundraising partnership for this cause five years ago, the two companies have raised more than $210,000 for JDRF.

“JDRF is singularly focused on the worldwide effort to end type 1 diabetes, and ADESA is proud to work closely with EMKAY each year in this important fundraising effort,” said ADESA President and CEO Stéphane St-Hilaire. “Almost everyone has a friend or family member fighting this disease, and we’re committed to doing our part to help find a cure for something that affects so many people.”
