Through the generosity of the Ford Motor Company Fund, DAV (Disabled American Veterans) will be able to continue to provide free transportation to America’s injured and ill veterans who might not otherwise be able to access needed medical care.
Ford, a long-time DAV supporter, is donating another $200,000 for the purchase of seven new vehicles for the organization’s nationwide Transportation Network, which provides rides for veterans to and from their medical appointments at no cost.
Ford has already donated $78,000 to DAV to again support the annual National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and DAV’s Jesse BrownMemorial Youth Scholarship Program, which incentivizes young people who volunteer to help veterans and their families. The grant will be presented at DAV’s National Convention at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel in Denver, Aug. 8.
Ford Motor Company’s kindness toward America’s veterans dates back nearly 100 years. When it became clear a 
national forum was needed to address the needs of those returning from the First World War, Henry Ford organized a cross-country caravan of 50 Model T Fords to take disabled veterans to the 1922 DAV National Convention in San Francisco.
