Like Arlington Heights Ford on Facebook Before Tonight's AHFD MDA Boot Drive Benefit to Donate

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - May 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Arlington Heights Ford has long placed a premium on giving back to the community, and that’s been apparent in their ongoing fundraising efforts for the Muscular Dystrophy Association Boot Drive. Through May 5, the dealership has committed to donating $1 in the name of every new person who likes their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/arlingtonheightsford/app_119147374946637) — the dealership is also matching that donation, meaning that each individual “like” contributes $2 to the cause. In addition to these continuing efforts, Arlington Heights Ford urges area residents to lend their support by attending tonight's AHFD MDA Benefit .

The AHFD MDA Benefit will take place from 7 to 11 p.m. and promises a fun time to benefit a great cause. The event will be held at Eddie’s Restaurant & Lounge at 10 E Northwest Hwy in downtown Arlington Heights. Eddie's offers superb American cuisine along with a variety of drink options, and during the benefit, attendees will be able to take part in a 50/50 raffle and an auction. The best part is that 100% of the proceeds will go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association, or MDA, is a nonprofit organization with the mission of not only funding research and medical services to benefit patients who are suffering from neuromuscular diseases, but also to educate both medical professionals and the general public. This organization has been working on behalf of this cause since 1950, and the International Association of Fire Fighters has been lending its support since 1954, donating close to $275 million during that time. It’s clear that the Arlington Heights Fire Department and the Muscular Dystrophy Association are natural allies, and Arlington Heights Ford is delighted to help out.

Arlington Heights Ford is proud to support this wonderful cause, and is looking forward to a well-attended benefit tonight at Eddie’s Restaurant & Lounge. There is also still time for area residents to lend their support by visiting the dealership on Facebook and liking their page. Those who want to learn more about the MDA or the chartable events in support of this cause should visit Arlington Heights Ford (http://www.ahford.com/page/locationhours2-masterpage/mast...) at 801 W Dundee Rd.
