All children with type 1 diabetes are encouraged to submit a completed entry for the Ford Design Your Own Funny Car Contest. The Western Wisconsin chapter will receive a $1,000 donation if ten submissions are received from our area. This is also a great opportunity for fundraising for your Walk to Cure Diabetes family team.

JDRF Funny Car Design Contest

Ford Customer Service Division and NHRA driver Bob Tasca II are offering one lucky JDRF child the creative chance of a lifetime—to design his or her own Motorcraft/Quick Lane/FORD Shelby Mustang NITRO funny car to be used in an actual race!

Starting June 1 through June 30, 2009, JDRF kids (with juvenile diabetes) can submit their own Funny Car design using the attached two documents (race car body and hood). All eligible design entries must be mailed to Ford, postmarked by Tuesday, June 30, 2009. (Please note that original entries will not be returned.)

All entries will be submitted into the Design Your Own JDRF Funny Car online design contest found at www.jdrf.org/ford. Family, friends and all visitors will be encouraged to make

donations in support of their favorite design. The top five designs receiving the highest bid totals will be provided to Ford to select the final winner!
