Agero has announced a $15,000 donation to the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum’s Survivor Fund. Towing and recovery is one of the most dangerous professions in the world, with operators working on the side of the road near high-speed traffic and facing the dangers of impaired, inattentive and distracted drivers.

Established in 2006, the Survivor Fund provides immediate financial support to the families of the approximately 60 towing operators who lose their lives in the line of service each year. Agero will match its donation, which it delivered on Wednesday, Oct. 4, with an additional $15,000 at the Baltimore Tow Show in November, bringing the company’s total contributions to the Survivor Fund to $135,000 since 2019.

Agero understands the sacrifices made by towing operators who ensure the safety of others on the road. The company recognizes the towing and recovery industry’s tremendous contributions and is proud to support the Survivor Fund in providing immediate assistance to the families left behind by these brave individuals.

Celebrating its 50^th anniversary, Agero partners with more than 7,000 towing providers around the U.S. to respond to over 12 million dispatches for help each year. The company has a longstanding commitment to both the Museum’s Survivor Fund and the State of Tennessee, where it employs more than 700 workers in Clarksville and the surrounding area.

To mark this occasion, leaders from Agero were on hand to present the donation check to representatives from the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum’s Survivor Fund. The Museum, located at 3315 Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN 37408, opened at its current location in 1995. Chattanooga is credited with being the birthplace of the tow truck.
