HORSHAM, Pa. — Specialty products manufacturer CRC Industries is sponsoring a well-preserved and upgraded 2006 Pontiac GTO to be auctioned off on May 15, with all proceeds benefiting the non-profit TechForce Foundation, which funds education for youths aspiring to work in the trades.

CRC Industries launched the "CRC Build for the Future Scholarship" program in cooperation with TechForce to help youths explore a career in a technical trade and empower them through strong community, scholarships and career placement programs to achieve their dreams, the company said.
A minimum of five scholarships will be awarded for industrial/welding and five for automotive education; at least three of the scholarships will be awarded to women, organizers said.
TechForce Foundation CEO Jennifer Maher said her organization shares "the same mission of helping young people find rewarding careers in the trades" as CRC Industries.
"We're tremendously grateful for CRC's financial support and the time and effort their team has put into helping to make the TechForce Foundation scholarship program a success."
To apply for the CRC-sponsored scholarships, applicants can register through TechForce.
