Hines Park Ford Presents ‘Go Further with Ford Night’ Combining Fusion, Fundraising and American Idol

Hines Park Ford in New Hudson presents “Go Further with Ford Night” on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., a free fundraising event that will benefit Active Faith Community Services, engaging consumers in the final “Random Acts of Fusion” adventure and offering them a chance to see the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion in person.

Go Further with Ford Night is the fun finale to Random Acts of Fusion, a transmedia program hosted by Ryan Seacrest that has generated more than 12 million consumer engagements with the Ford Fusion by playing out a story arc through multimedia platforms.

“We all want to be part of something bigger, and Go Further with Ford Night is our way of offering consumers the chance to give back to our community, have a lot of fun, enjoy the final random act — which will test their judging skills to win a unique VIP American Idol experience — and meet the all-new Ford Fusion in person,” said Dave Kolb at Hines Park Ford.

For each person who attends Go Further with Ford Night on Nov. 15, Hines Park Ford will donate $20 with a maximum of $1,000 to Active Faith Community Services.

While at the dealership, consumers can compete to win a special VIP experience with American Idol. A computer with a webcam will be set up in the dealership to allow consumers to view a special message from Seacrest and test their judging skills on camera, in true American Idol style. American Idol premieres in January 2013 on FOX.

Entries will be sent back to Ford's program headquarters, where a team of experts will evaluate and select one winner to receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Hollywood and a unique VIP experience with American Idol.

Consumers 18 years and older who are interested in participating in Go Further with Ford Night may pre-register for the event atwww.randomactsoffusion.com and be entered for a chance to win tickets to a live taping of American Idol. Additionally, registrants at dealerships on Nov. 15 will be entered into a prize drawing to win an all-new 2013 Ford Fusion. No purchase is necessary and other restrictions apply.
