Rev your engines and get creative!  The 6th annual JDRF “Our Everyday Heroes” Race Car Design Contest is back!  Breakthrough T1D and Ford Customer Service Division invite kids living with T1D (ages 5-18) to submit their creative design now through March 31st.  Voting will go through May 3rd.  During this time, vote to get your design into the Top 10 by making a monetary donation to Breakthrough T1D.  Then from May 3 – May 28, come back to vote for the winner!  Each donation made will be credited toward the child’s Breakthrough T1D Walk to Cure Diabetes Family Team.  The top ten donation-earning designs will then be narrowed down to one.  The winning design will be selected by a committee including representatives from FCSD, Breakthrough T1D, Bob Tasca III and members of the media.

The winner will receive the trip of a lifetime and will see their artwork come to life on the Motorcraft and Quick Lane Racing Ford Shelby Mustang Funny Car driven by Breakthrough T1D friend and supporter Bob Tasca III!  Click here to get started.  Submissions are accepted until March 31st. To date, this contest has raised over $250K for T1D research and we look forward to another incredible year!

Breakthrough T1D is proud to have the generous support of Ford Motor Company.  Click here to read the National Press Release.
