Her advice: “It’s important to the overall balance of my life and I don’t think I could feel happy in my career if I weren’t also giving back to the community through volunteer service.”
Susan and her daughters are members of a mother-daughter service organization that volunteers with many different philanthropies in the community. They have worked with the North Texas Food Bank, Community Partners of Dallas, Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels, Komen 3-Day Walk and Operation Kindness Animal Shelter, to name a few.
Currently, Trevor volunteers as a Searcher for a search and rescue organization in New Brunswick, Canada. He undergoes rigorous monthly trainings where his team learns wilderness survival, first-aid and tracking tactics. He is also doing more training to eventually become a field team leader.
“Take the things you love and find something that uses those skills or talents. I, for example, love to hike and help people. Ground search and rescue was a great fit.”

“My career experience has actually made a difference in my volunteering experience. I use similar principals, ethics and overall team spirit with the kids that I coach from what I’ve experienced while working at Copart.”

Copart is a significant sponsor of a mortgage-free home for U.S. Army Veteran Major Eric King in Irving, Texas. As a veteran-owned company, Copart is honored to be a part of this special project organized by Operations FINALLY HOME, a non-profit dedicated to building homes for veterans in need.
On March 25, 2019, Copart Employees attended Major King’s emotional home dedication ceremony where his family walked into their completed home for the first time. Surrounded by friends, family and supporters, the dedication was a special moment for the community of Irving.

On Feb. 14, 2019, Copart UK was proud to support the annual I Love Claims (ILC) Day to raise funds for Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity by wearing red to work.
Colleagues across our 15 UK locations rocked something red, and organized bake sales, raffles and games. Combined with a contribution to the ILC Raffle, Copart UK raised over £1,800.
ILC (I Love Claims), which launched in 2010, is a collaboration of like-minded individuals and businesses focused on shaping a claims world that is sustainable for all.
Since it began in 2013, ILC Day has raised more than £61,000 for ILC’s official charity partner, the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity. Rainbow Trust provides bespoke emotional and practical support to families who have a child (up to the age of 18) with a serious illness.
Karen Langley, Marketing & Internal Communications Executive at Copart UK, said: “We were delighted to join forces with other members of the claims community to support the annual ILC Day and help raise funds for this amazing charity, which provides vital support to families with a seriously ill child.”
