Detroit Lions' Bill Bentley Partners with Adrian's Collision Centers to Collect Supplies for Local Schools

Adrian’s Collision Centers, with six locations around Metro Detroit, is partnering with Bill Bentley, a second-year Detroit Lions cornerback, to collect school supplies for the Detroit Public Schools during the month of August. Those who wish to donate may simply drop off supplies to the designated boxes at any one of the Adrian’s Collision Centers located in Southfield, Farmington Hills, Northville, Dearborn, Commerce, and Marysville. In addition, all who donate school supplies will be entered to win one of six footballs autographed by Bill Bentley.

"We're very excited to partner with Bill Bentley on this initiative," said Neil Adrian, owner of Adrian's Collision Centers. "Any way that we can help start the school year off with adequately equipped classrooms, we're going to get involved."

“This a great time of year, not only because we’re headed into football season, but also because it’s time to go back to school,” Bill Bentley said, who is utilizing this initiative as a springboard to launch The Bentley Foundation. “The purpose of my new foundation is to help inner city youth and I can’t think of a better way to do this than to give them the proper tools to be successful in the classroom. My partnership with Adrian’s Collision Centers will allow me to accomplish this goal and I’m very excited to help in any way I can.”
