How Will the Bricks Be Used?
ATRA is excited to announce the plans of an outdoor pavilion at our new facility in China Grove, Texas, designed to enrich our training events with a space for BBQs and social gatherings. This pavilion will not only offer a relaxing outdoor environment for attendees to unwind and network but will also serve as a symbol of community and collaboration within the powertrain industry. To make this vision a reality, we are launching a special fundraiser, inviting industry professionals to leave a lasting mark on the project by purchasing customized bricks. These bricks will be laid throughout the pavilion, each carrying a personalized message from contributors, literally building the foundation of our future with each inscription. Participating in this initiative offers a unique opportunity to be a part of ATRA's path to success, enhancing our facility while forging stronger ties within the industry.
