The RV Technician Association of America (RVTAA) certified RV technicians and National RV Inspectors Association (NRVIA) certified RV inspectors collectively raised nearly $13,000 for the Abundant Life Pregnancy Resource Center during the 2024 RVTAA and NRVIA Expo.
The event, held from Dec. 6-8 at the National RV Training Academy (NRVTA) campus in Athens, Texas, brought together professionals dedicated to both their craft and their community.
The fundraising initiative was ignited by Terry “The Texas RV Professor” Cooper, who, during a session, presented a donation bucket and emphasized the organization’s commitment to supporting others, invoking the principle that “to whom much is given, much is required.” The heartfelt appeal resonated deeply with attendees, sparking a wave of contributions, the organization said. One attendee’s pledge to match donations up to $5,000 further amplified the collective effort, culminating in a total of nearly $13,000 raised for the center.
The Abundant Life Pregnancy Resource Center, located in Athens, offers free and confidential services to individuals facing unplanned pregnancies. Their comprehensive support includes medical-grade pregnancy tests, parenting education classes, community referrals and material assistance through their Baby Boutique, which provides infant and toddler supplies. The center is committed to empowering women and men throughout pregnancy, ensuring they have access to the resources and support needed during challenging times.
The 2024 Expo provided RV technicians and inspectors with in-depth training, certification opportunities and industry networking. The event featured hands-on training sessions, professional development workshops, and keynote addresses from industry leaders, all aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of attendees.
The success of the fundraising effort underscores the commitment of RVTAA and NRVIA members to making a positive impact beyond their professional responsibilities, the organizations said. The collective generosity will significantly aid the Abundant Life Pregnancy Resource Center in continuing its vital services to the community.
