Ford's Operation Goodwill Campaign
Ford Motor Company’s Operation Goodwill Campaign helped raise over $100,000 for the 2008 JDRF Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes!
Ford continues their role as a JDRF Global Walk Partner and as a JDRF Illinois Chapter Sponsor. We appreciate their continued dedication to our mission!
How does this partnership affect JDRF Walk families? As a presenting sponsor for the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes, Ford dealerships have the unique opportunity to partner with a Walk Family Team. Our goal for this partnership is to establish a connection between Ford and the community while increasing Family Team success.
The inaugural year of the Ford Family Team Sponsorship raised $25,000 through nine Ford Dealerships sponsoring 10 Family Teams. This campaign drove their local participation to new heights and gave JDRF Family Teams an opportunity for greater success! Success means more funding for diabetes research.
What to expect from a Ford dealership as a partner:
• 13 Ford dealerships will select one winning Family Team each (winning teams announced in August).
• Dealerships have the option of hosting Family Team fundraising events at their dealership.
• Ford dealerships will match the money raised by your Family Team - up to $2,500!
What is expected of selected Family Teams:
• Interested JDRF Family Teams must apply for a dealership sponsor.
• If selected, families are responsible for raising money for the Walk through personal campaign letters sent to family, friends, and community members asking for support and highlighting the unique Ford Dealership partnership.
• Family teams may display dealership name on t-shirts, post-walk wrap-up letters, etc.
• If chosen, Family Teams should thank the dealership partner for their commitment to a cure and support of your team.
If your team is interested in this amazing opportunity, please complete the below application and return it to the JDRF Illinois office by Friday, July 31, 2009. We look forward to hearing from you! Please contact Katy Orender, JDRF Lakefront Walk Manager, for more information at 312.423.7196.
