Ford Motor Company Donates Truck for 4-H Fundraising
Ford Motor Company donated a 2008 F-150 Super Cab to the Colorado 4-H Foundation as the grand prize for their annual fundraising campaign. The truck, valued at nearly $33,000, will be equipped with popular options, including a flex-fuel engine allowing it run on regular gasoline or E-85 ethanol. It will be given away this fall at Metro Area Supports 4-H (M*A*S*H) Gala on October 11, 2008, to be held at the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver.
"Ford and 4-H share similar values," said Michael Grammes, Denver Region Marketing Manager for Ford Motor Company. "Both organizations stress the importance of education, environmental stewardship, diversity and community involvement, and we at Ford are honored to be able to support the members of 4-H."

Raffle tickets to win the 2008 F-150 are just $20. The funds raised will be split between county 4-H programs and the Colorado 4-H Foundation. Tickets will be sold at all major state-wide 4-H Activities, County Fairs, the Colorado State Fair and other events.
"Through 4-H students learn how to be diligent workers and upstanding members of their communities; two qualities which are vital in today's society," commented Gary Small, executive director of the Colorado 4-H Foundation. "We teach life skills through hands on learning activities and projects to over 100,000 youth throughout the state. We are tremendously excited to have Ford Motor Company's support of our organization."
