Fundraising came to life - and leapt off the table - at the 2009 ARA Convention & Exposition in Lexington, Ky. The Friday night ARA Educational Foundation (ARAEF) fundraising event incorporated the area's love of horse breeding and racing. Fran Reitman, co-owner of Reitman Auto Parts, Melbourne, Ky.; Kelly Roepke, Y-Yard Auto & Truck, Inc., Effingham, Ill.; and Sandy Blalock, Capo's Truck & Auto Parts, Inc., Albuquerque, N.M., planned the "Night At The Races" event.
