We're shining a spotlight on a bright young man from our Hobe Sound location, Tyler, who went through a 2 week internship with Zero 6 Customs & Collisions and is now employed with them full-time!
His passion for automotive repair and his dedication to succeed will benefit him greatly in this role and moving forward. Thank you to owners Brian and Jessica Scholz for investing in Tyler and giving him this opportunity!

🛠 The Blue Collar Ball was a tremendous success! 🎉
15 years ago, our CEO, Bob Zaccheo, turned his vision into reality — serving underestimated teens and young adults by pairing mental health therapy with skilled trades training. Thanks to your support, we served over 700 teens and young adults over the past year, and we are just getting started!
Your support is vital to us. Lives are being changed here at Project LIFT, and it wouldn’t be possible with you.
To our sponsors and attendees, thank you for joining us for an incredible night celebrating Project LIFT! We are grateful for you and all of our supporters who are dedicated advocates for our mission.

We're proud of their progress!
*The electrical apprenticeship program is made possible through a partnership with ABC Institute.*
This year’s auction is packed with hand-crafted items, themed baskets, gift certificates, unique experiences, and so much more!
