R.M. Stoudt fundraiser for ACC includes ‘Idol’ Fusion event

R.M. Stoudt Inc. will present “Go Further with Ford Night” on Thursday — a free fundraising event that will benefit the Anne Carlsen Center, 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 finale to Random Acts of Fusion, the 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 Casey Stoudt, R.M. Stoudt Inc.

For each person who attends Go Further with Ford Night on Nov. 15, Ford Motor Company will donate $10 — up to a total of $500 — to the Anne Carlsen Center. R.M. Stoudt Inc. will match Ford’s donation, for a total of $20 to the Anne Carlsen Center for each person participating.

While at the dealership, consumers will have an opportunity to 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 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-expense 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 preregister for the event at www.RandomActsofFu

sion.com and be entered for a chance to win tickets to a live taping of “American Idol.”

Additionally, registrants at dealerships on Thursday will be entered into a prize drawing to win an all-new 2012 Ford Fusion. No purchase is necessary and other restrictions apply. See full official rules online for details.
