CIADA CHARITY FUND HIGHLIGHT

HELPING ONE OF OUR OWN

By David Cardella, CEO, CIADA

When word spread that Chad Lamb, Auctioneer/Ringman, was
diagnosed with cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, people in the
automotive industry sprang into action.

Chad has been employed as an Auctioneer/Ringman at Dealers
Auto Auction and Loveland Auto Auction for over a decade, and
they told Chad not worry about his job and paycheck, “We have you
covered, just get healthy!” Both auctions continue holding fundrais-
ers to help Chad with his medical and living expenses, with Dealers Auto Auction raising over $13,000 during their Auction Day
Fundraiser. Phil Long Automotive, Zalli Motors, The Auto Connection, Used Car Dealers of Colorado Charity Fund, along with
numerous dealers in attendance for the auction, gave generous donations, which will give Chad and his wife peace of mind as he
continues his fight by undergoing chemotherapy treatments.

Dealers helping people in their time of need is why Used Car Dealers of Colorado Charity Fund was formed in 2014 and President
Ajet Zalli said, “Although we had to cancel this year’s Annual Charity Gala, it will be back next year bigger and better.” n
