Ford Gears Up for ESSENCE Festival This July 4th Weekend; Will Give Away Keys to All-New 2015 Ford Mustang
The 20th anniversary of the ESSENCE Festival kicks off this weekend, and Ford will be there to help attendees celebrate and potentially walk away with the keys to an all-new 2015 Ford Mustang, as part of its title sponsorship. The ESSENCE Festival is a cultural celebration featuring a mix of established names, exciting newcomers and cherished festival favorites.
“Our collaboration with ESSENCE on the festival is rooted in our shared commitment to empower, as well as our goals as a company to go further when it comes to not only our products, but also our communities,” said Shawn Thompson, manager, Ford Multicultural Marketing. “The ESSENCE Festival holds such a special place in the hearts of African Americans – particularly African American women – and this provides an amazing and relevant environment for us to engage with these consumers.”Ford will take part in the 2014 ESSENCE Festival for the sixth consecutive year as exclusive automotive sponsor. Festival-goers will have the opportunity to take a test drive in some of Ford’s newest products, including the 2014 Ford Fusion and 2014 Escape, in addition to learning more about the importance of early detection as it relates to breast cancer awareness.
‘Pink Friday’ – Ford booth goes pink for breast cancer awareness
On July 4, for the third year in a row, Ford is activating “Pink Friday” in an effort to raise awareness around breast cancer and the importance of early detection. For each of the first 200 test drives the company is offering, Ford Warriors in Pink will donate $20 to the Young Survival Coalition to help directly improve the lives of thousands of young breast cancer survivors. 2014 marks Ford’s 20th year of support in the fight against breast cancer. To date, Ford has donated more than $115 million to the cause. The Ford Warriors in Pink line of apparel and accessories is available exclusively on www.fordcares.com.
