- Get In and Give Back: The South Florida Ford Dealers Association recently presented a check for $7,500 to the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital Foundation. The association launched a “Get in and Give Back” social media initiative, prompting local Ford owners to take a photo in their vehicle and share it on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #FORDGetin. South Florida Ford then donated $5 for every picture posted.
