Manheim Pennsylvania celebrated its 80th anniversary in true 80s fashion at its annual Xtreme Spring Sale events and fundraiser held March 18-20, raising money for local non-profit, Aaron’s Acres. 

As its largest event of the year for 16 years running, Manheim Pennsylvania hosted more than 3,000 dealers onsite and via Simulcast for its Highline and classic, specialty, and 100 Grander sales. 

The festivities concluded with an 80s-themed evening gala with an iconic DeLorean, arcade games, a graffiti wall, and plenty of big hair and acid-washed denim. 

Thanks to client donations and a live auction featuring a red 2021 Chevrolet Corvette, the Manheim Pennsylvania team raised more than $105,000 for Aaron’s Acres, which provides opportunities for children and young adults with disabilities to participate in innovative social and recreational programs. 

“The team at Aaron’s Acres feels extremely blessed with being chosen as the recipient of this year’s Xtreme Spring event at Manheim,” said Risa C. Paskoff, MSW, ACSW, executive director of Aaron’s Acres, in a March 26 news release. “Our organization has been able to expand our programs and increase the ages of our participants in large part because of the financial support we have received. We can meet their needs thanks to Manheim’s ongoing commitment to giving back.”  

This year’s event marked a particularly significant milestone for Manheim as it celebrates its 80^th year in business. Manheim Pennsylvania is where Manheim started in 1945 as a small, two-lane auction. 

Today, Manheim has grown to become the world’s largest wholesale auto auction, with 75 locations spanning more than 6,500 acres nationwide dedicated to offering both in-lane and online auto auctions and a range of vehicle services for clients. 

“This year’s Xtreme Spring event was significant as it allowed us to celebrate Manheim’s 80^th anniversary while also raising money for a great cause,” said Emily Decker, general manager of Manheim Pennsylvania Market Center. “At Manheim Pennsylvania, we take immense pride in having served our clients and this incredible community for 80 years. We look forward to continuing Manheim’s legacy of excellence and community service for the next 80 years and beyond.”
