Ford Partnering with Islanders and UBS Arena To Honor the Military

Ford has joined the New York Islanders and UBS Arena, the New York metropolitan area's newest premier entertainment and sports venue, as a sponsor, to collectively honor service members, veterans, and their families.
This season, the organizations are teaming up to donate a new Ford truck to a local hero through the BUILT FORD TOUGH Military Tribute. Together, Your Local Ford Stores and the Islanders will invite the local community to nominate veterans and share their stories on why these local heroes are deserving of a new Ford truck. The lucky winner will be surprised with the truck at the end of the 21-22 regular season.
