KAR Auction Services Chairman and CEO Jim Hallett made the announcement.

“It is inspiring to work with people who are so generous and so dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live and work,” said Hallett. “We continue to surpass our record each year, and I couldn’t be more proud of our team and thankful for the positive impact this will have in helping those in need in the Indianapolis area.”
