Manheim Pennsylvania tipped its hat to the start of the spring wholesale season, pairing cowboy boots with a touch of sparkle at its annual Xtreme Spring Sale event and fundraiser – its largest event for the past 17 years.
The March 19 event drew more than 3,000 dealers onsite and via Simulcast for Manheim Pennsylvania’s signature Highline, classic, specialty and 100 Grander sales, highlighting the scale and energy that have long defined Xtreme Spring. The day’s action concluded with a boots and bling evening gala, where cowboy hats, denim and diamonds brought dealers together beyond the auction lanes.
Giving back remained at the heart of the event. Through client donations and a live charity auction featuring a classic 1982 Jeep CJ Scrambler, the Manheim Pennsylvania team raised more than $82,000 for Aaron’s Acres, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing innovative social and recreational programs for children and young adults with disabilities.
“Everyone involved with Aaron’s Acres is incredibly grateful for the overwhelming generosity shown by Manheim and all who attended the event,” said Kate Mullen, director of Development and Community Relations of Aaron’s Acres. “This support allows us to continue meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. Because of this partnership, our programs can keep growing, and scholarships remain available for families.”
For Manheim Pennsylvania, Xtreme Spring goes far beyond a single day of sales.
“After nearly two decades, Xtreme Spring is something our team looks forward to every year,” said Emily Decker, general manager of the Manheim Pennsylvania Market Center. “We know the rhythm by now, but what never changes is the impact – from the energy in the lanes to what we’re able to give back. It really shows what can happen when everyone shows up and pitches in.”
