The Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG) will return to Las Vegas for the 2025 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX). YANG will conduct its largest regional meet-up and the annual T-shirt fundraiser supporting the Automotive Aftermarket Charity Foundation (AACF) during Industry Week.
On Tuesday, Nov. 4, from 8 to 10 p.m., YANG will host a gathering at the 1923 Prohibition Bar, located in the Grand Canal Shoppes of The Venetian Resort. This event is part of YANG’s focus on professional networking within the auto care industry.
“I love how at AAPEX you can really see the industry — the energy, the people and the passion that make it all come to life,” said Tanya Hunt, chair, YANG. “I’ve always believed we’re not competitors here; we’re one industry.”
Networking and Engagement Opportunities
The YANG Reception at AAPEX is open to registered YANG members, mentors, ambassadors and sponsors. Attendees must pre-register by Friday, Oct. 31, 2025, and will need to show their AAPEX or SEMA badges and YANG registration confirmation for entry.
#YANGGivesBack Campaign at AAPEX 2025
Continuing its philanthropic efforts, YANG will host its #YANGGivesBack campaign during AAPEX 2025, in support of the AACF. YANG is backing AACF charity events, including the Boss of the Toss Charity Cornhole Tournament on Saturday, Nov. 1, and The Bob Schoeberl Memorial Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, Nov. 3.
YANG also will conduct its annual T-shirt fundraiser, encouraging donations to assist automotive aftermarket industry members facing financial hardship. A $20 donation to AACF earns contributors an exclusive “Gear Up to Give Back” T-shirt, available for pick-up at AAPEX and select YANG regional events. Proceeds will support industry members in need.
“YANG is excited to continue its ‘Gear Up to Give Back’ charity campaign in support of AACF,” Hunt said. “We’re proud to show our support through T-shirt sales, AACF’s inaugural Boss of the Toss Charity Cornhole Tournament, and by encouraging YANG members to volunteer at the AACF Charity Golf Tournament.”
