CRC Industries raised $100,000 for skilled trade scholarships through the auction of a hydrogen-powered 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air at Barrett-Jackson. Devin Smith, the winning bidder and owner of Southern Elite Contracting, increased the final bid from $80,000 to maximize scholarship contributions.

The sale supports the Build for the Future initiative, which provides scholarships for students pursuing technical education in skilled trades. The Bel Air, featuring a hydrogen-fueled engine, highlights CRC's commitment to education and workforce development. Future projects include a 2006 Pontiac GTO and a 1977 Chevrolet C10, with upcoming auctions scheduled.
