John and Selene are long-time donors to Yellowstone Foundation, and in addition to both outright and planned gifts, they have hosted several donor appreciation events at their home. As John and Selene approach retirement, they have begun the process of estate planning. One asset they were no longer actively using was a 1929 Ford Model A Coupe that John won in a raffle several years ago. After some discussion, they decided to donate it to Yellowstone Foundation, and the car was delivered to the Auto Barn at YBGR.
Since then, the car has been taken out for rides and displayed at several Ranch events. Earlier this month, the car was driven in the Burn the Point parade with kids riding in the rumble seat to raise awareness of YBGR’s mission to help hurting children. The following day, the car was displayed at the Burn the Point Car Show where volunteers sat with the car and handed out literature about both the Foundation and the Ranch. While the car itself may be an antique, it is now a part of YBGR’s timeless mission to give hope and healing to youth dealing with mental health challenges. Thank you to John and Selene whose gift symbolizes the power of restoration and hope that shines as bright as the Model A’s lovingly polished fenders!
