CARMEL, Ind. – February 13, 2018 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketer, KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR), announces its ADESA auctions and EMKAY, a privately owned fleet management company, together raised $267,000 over a six-year fundraising partnership in support of JDRF. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.
