The Rocky Mountain Ford Stores have donated a 2009 Ford XLT F150 4x4 pickup truck to the Colorado 4-H Foundation to help raise funds for 4-H. The 2009 F-150 has recently been named the 2009 Motor Trend Truck of the Year.
Raffle tickets will be sold until October by Foundation Board members, Extension staff and 4-H members and leaders. The drawing will be held at the Colorado 4-H Gala being held October 3, 2009 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Tickets cost just $5 each, or $20 for 5. Forty percent from each ticket will be returned to the county program or state 4-H project area responsible for the sale. The remaining funds will be used to fund special 4-H youth programs.
"Our goal is to have the truck on display at as many county 4-H events as possible between now and October," said Gary Small, Executive Director of the Colorado 4-H Foundation. "The funds raised from the raffle will provide the 4-H learning experience to more kids in Colorado. We greatly appreciate Ford becoming an official sponsor of the Colorado 4-H Program".
