“Providing a platform for awareness and charitable dollars has long been a foundational pillar for Barrett-Jackson,” says Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson (barrett-jackson.com). “Beginning as a charity car show in 1967 to support the local Scottsdale library and community arts center, our company’s roots are firmly planted in giving back to our community, and I am confident my parents, Nellie and Russ Jackson, as well as Tom Barrett, would be proud to see that we never lost sight of their philanthropic vision.” Here, we break down the organization’s most significant accomplishments by the numbers.
