Ford Donates Millions To Military Charities This Holiday Season

What a great story to get you into the Christmas spirit after a year of uncertainty. This holiday season, Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers are showing their support for U.S. military heroes by donating $3.5 million to military charities as part of the company’s Proud to Honor program, which works to raise awareness of the needs of veterans and to support partners who address those needs.

“We are humbled by the sacrifices made by our military service members and their families,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. marketing, sales and service. “Our Ford dealers are woven into the fabric of their communities and I’m proud of the support they provide to make a difference in the lives of our vets.” Through the Proud to Honor initiative, Ford raises awareness for members of the military, strengthen existing programs, and create a viable connection with those serving their country. Presently, Ford employs approximately 6,000 veterans.

We can all help too with raising awareness for our veterans. Anyone who shares a post on social media reflecting pride in a member of the U.S. military, using #proud honor, Ford will donate $100 to be split evenly between the seven Ford Proud to Honor military charities, up to $3.5 million through Dec. 31, 2020. Proceeds will be directed to wonderful programs such as Blue Star Families, Guitars for Vets, DAV, Workshops for Warriors, Oscar Mike, Bunker Labs and Boulder Crest Foundation.

In other news, Ford Motor Company and Pro Football Hall of Fame are combining efforts for the Ford Proud to Honor Hall of Heroes, in recognizing deserving military men and women who exemplify hard work, selflessness, and a commitment to excellence. Kathy Roth-Douquet, the founder of the national nonprofit Blue Star Families, became the first member of the Hall of Heroes. Ford will donate $10,000 worth of toys for Blue Star Families’ charity drive benefiting the children of military families.

Let’s all get into the Christmas spirit and do our part to raise awareness for our military heroes who have made sacrifices for our country. To learn more please visit fordproudtohonor.com.
