JDRF TASCA AUCTION WINDS DOWN
(JDRF), the two brands have placed the helmet and fire suit worn by Bob Tasca
III during the U.S. Nationals up for auction on eBay, and will donate all
proceeds earned from the auction to JDRF.
“With how much attention our online design contest for Indy received, we wanted to keep that momentum going by placing the suit and helmet that Bob wore during that weekend up for auction to raise even more funds for JDRF,” said Al Giombetti, executive director, Ford Customer Service Division. “With just a couple of days left on the auction, we’re hoping that fans will help bid whatever they can to raise as much as possible for JDRF.”
As another way for Motorcraft and Quick Lane to raise awareness and funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF), the two brands have placed the helmet and fire suit worn by Bob Tasca
III during the U.S. Nationals up for auction on eBay, and will donate all
proceeds earned from the auction to JDRF.
“With how much attention our online design contest for Indy received, we wanted to keep that momentum going by placing the suit and helmet that Bob wore during that weekend up for auction to raise even more funds for JDRF,” said Al Giombetti, executive director, Ford Customer Service Division. “With just a couple of days left on the auction, we’re hoping that fans will help bid whatever they can to raise as much as possible for JDRF.”
JDRF has become the charity of choice for the two Ford brands that are the primary sponsors for Bob Tasca III’s nitro Funny Car, and the two organizations couldn’t be a better fit as Ford Motor Company is the largest corporate sponsor of JDRF and the only international sponsor of the foundation.
“It’s important for our brands and for our company to give back to our community, and our sponsorship in the NHRA gives us a great platform to reach a large audience to bring awareness to this disease,” said Giombetti. “We’re excited about what we’ve been able to do this season with such a great organization.”
