Our friends at Anderson Ford in Lincoln, Nebraska, went the extra mile, or at least "50 yards," for the Raising Men and Women non-profit.
What are you talking about, Chris?
Anderson Ford recently fixed a van for Rodney Smith Jr. Rodney is the founder of a local non-profit that inspires youth to complete the "50 Yard Challenge" by mowing lawns for those in need. Rodney provides the ride and the gear, the young folks provide the sweat.
When Smith's van broke down in Columbus, Nebraska, with a blown engine, Anderson Ford provided a new engine and $20,000 worth of repairs free of charge. Their efforts ensured that Smith could continue his mission of empowering 5,000 children to give back to their communities across the country.
General Manager Kurt Perkins emphasized the importance of their charitable actions, inspired by Proverbs 3:27. The dealership's generosity not only restored Smith's van but also rekindled the spirit of giving, encouraging more kids to join the cause.
