County Garage aims to assist Ford Motor Company raise £100,000 for JDRF to mark 100 years of Ford of Britain

County Garage through our manufacturing partner Ford Motor Company Ltd is supporting JDRF in Ford Motor Company's centennial year. County Garage and other Ford dealers will be working with JDRF to help boost fundraising activities and raise more money for much needed research into type 1 diabetes.

Ford has worked with JDRF internationally for a number of years and has supported JDRF flagship annual fundraising event, The Walk to Cure Diabetes through the Ford Global Walk Team.

To mark Ford of Britain's centennial year, staff at County Garage and other Ford dealerships are aiming high by planning to raise a symbolic £100,000 for JDRF by the end of the year.

Employees who work at County Garage and other Ford dealerships across the country will be getting their thinking caps on to come up with great fundraising ideas to raise money in their local showrooms. Ford customers will also be invited to support the activity by donating £1 towards JDRF when they visit County Garage and other Ford's dealerships across the UK.

To raise awareness of type 1 diabetes and the importance of funding research into type 1 diabetes, Ford will be launching a poster marketing campaign featuring a series of young kids from all over Britain who are living with the condition. You can read more about the campaign here.
