Kerrville, TX – Peterson Regional Medical Center Foundation (PRMC) announces a gift of $1,000 from Ken Stoepel Ford Lincoln which is the result of the recent event that combined community fund raising, “American Idol,” and the promotion of the all-new Ford Fusion.

Local residents attending the “Go Further with Ford Night” were given the opportunity on November 15th to win a VIP experience and attend a live taping of “American Idol” which begins in January as well as experience the all-new For Fusion.

“We all want to be a part of something bigger, and “Go Further with Ford Night,” was our way of offering the community a chance to give back to our hospital, an opportunity to win a unique VIP “American Idol” experience and see of Ford’s new products, the all-new Ford Fusion,” according to Terry Massey, Ken Stoepel Ford general manager.

Jim Wilson, Glenn Andrew, and Diane Green, Foundation Board members and Annual Giving Tri-chairs, said the funds will be applied to the new Peterson Pioneer Giving Program which supports the purchase of new equipment and development of new programs and support the educational endeavors at Peterson Regional Medical Center.
