Early Ford V-8 Foundation

Programs to Support the Museum

We have several campaigns in which you can participate to show your support for the Early Ford V-8 Foundation.

The Brick Campaign

The BRICK CAMPAIGN is "Paving the Way", to provide supporters a permanent way to recognize/remember loved ones, show support of your Company or Organization and help the Early Ford V-8 Foundation continue building the Museum at the Dean Kruse Museum Complex in Auburn, Indiana. Bricks are available in two sizes: a 4 x 8 inch brick and an 8 x 8 inch brick which can be customized with your Club or Business logo. These bricks will be used enhance the entrance to the Museum Building and will be viewed by all who enter the building. An ORDER FORM is available in PDF format for you to download.

Please submit an order form for EACH brick. Custom logo bricks require a camera ready logo. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

The Golden Shovel Campaign

Our Golden Shovel Campaign is designed to raise funds to help build our museum in Auburn, Indiana. Here's how it works: Make a donation of $2000 and receive an IRS form for a tax deduction, a Gold lapel/hat pin, a certificate of appreciation and your name on a plaque to be displayed in the museum. Or make a $1000 donation and receive a Silver Shovel pin and the above. Suggestion: this is a great way for Ford V-8 Club regional groups to help support the Ford V-8 Foundation and its important mission of "Preserving 1932-1953 Ford History", and receive permanent recognition on the museum's "Wall of Fame".
