A Genuine Part of
Our Communities
GPC has been a significant contributor to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund since 2012. In 2018, on behalf of the NAPA family, GPC presented the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF) with a check for $2,360,750 raised through the 2017 “Get Back and Give Back” campaign. To date, this annual campaign has raised a staggering $10 million. APG’s NAPA Auto Parts has a large military family that includes both our employees and our customers.
GPC participates in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life and the Real Men Wear Pink (RMWP) campaign. RMWP inspires men to take a more prominent role in raising breast cancer awareness and funds. Each October since 2018, GPC has held a month-long campaign that has, in total, raised over $229,000.
For over 20 years, GPC has teamed up with the American Red Cross in its mission to provide disaster relief, training, and blood collections. Every year, we hold at least 15 blood drives and donate over 400 pints of blood — earning us the 2017 Bloodhound Award for donating the most pints of blood per percentage of employees.
Since 2013, GPC has supported City of Refuge Atlanta by providing the NAPA Autoskills Training Center — a 15-week training program that teaches individuals automotive skills and provides job placement to put their new skills to good use.
Since the 1930s, GPC has helped the United Way’s fundraising efforts by sponsoring informational breakfasts, softball games, tennis tournaments, cricket games, silent auctions, and more. Events such as these help the United Way provide the funding needed to support its network of over 1,700 organizations.
