Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of Ford dealers step up and help local communities in various ways – ranging from hosting toy drives for kids to volunteering in different ways to raising money for those in need and pretty much everything in between. In some cases, those same dealers donate vehicles to worthy causes as well. Now, that generosity is on full display yet again in Atlanta, Georgia, after Billy Howell Ford has opted to donate a brand new Ford Maverick to St. Jude Children’s Hospital for a very special giveaway.
According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, this brand new Ford Maverick was gifted by Billy Howell Ford to the charitable organization as part of the upcoming 2025 St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, in which the grand prize is a “dream home” valued at $750,000. That home is located in Cumming, Georgia, in the Palisades at Sawnee Village community, and was built by the folks at The Providence Group.
That home just so happens to come with a two-car garage, which would be perfect to park the new Ford Maverick in, but the giveaway also features a few other prizes, such as a $10,000 Visa gift card, a $5,000 grocery gift card, and $3,000 for a getaway experience. As for Bill Howell, who took over the reins of the business from his father, he’s more than happy to help St. Jude raise as much money to help kids as he possibly can.
“We do anything we can for kids, which is one of the biggest reasons we want to be involved with St. Jude. There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for family. There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for kids,” Howell said. “Family is everything to us, and I learned that from what I consider the greatest man in the world. Everybody knows the story of Danny Thomas, and when he decided to build the hospital, it was a matter of where are going to build it at.”
