Manheim Pennsylvania marked the start of the spring wholesale season with its largest event of the year: the annual Xtreme Spring Sale event and fundraiser.

The event, in its 17th year, drew more than 3,000 dealers onsite and via Simulcast on March 19 to bid in the auto auction’s signature Highline, classic, specialty and 100 Grander sales. The day concluded with a “boots‑and‑bling” evening gala featuring cowboy hats, denim and diamonds.

“After nearly two decades, Xtreme Spring is something our team looks forward to every year,” Manheim Pennsylvania Market Center general manager Emily Decker said. “We know the rhythm by now, but what never changes is the impact — from the energy in the lanes to what we’re able to give back. It really shows what can happen when everyone shows up and pitches in.”

Through client donations and a live charity auction featuring a classic 1982 Jeep CJ Scrambler, Manheim Pennsylvania raised more than $82,000 for Aaron’s Acres, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing social and recreational programs for children and young adults with disabilities.

“Everyone involved with Aaron’s Acres is incredibly grateful for the overwhelming generosity shown by Manheim and all who attended the event,” Aaron’s Acres development and community relations director Kate Mullen said. “This support allows us to continue meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. Because of this partnership, our programs can keep growing, and scholarships remain available for families.”
