Discovery Ford's PBR event gives back to local communities

Last month’s Professional Bull Riding extravaganza was a success on all fronts, particularly for the community groups and agencies that helped Discovery Ford put on the show. A number of service organizations volunteered for everything from beverage and food service to security and hospitality. Those groups received cheques for the proceeds from their efforts. Discover Ford ensured the dollars from the event went back into Humboldt and area communities through those supporting volunteers.  

Even the bleachers, purchased by Discovery Ford, will be heading to Humboldt and area venues for community use. Including the purchase cost of the bleachers, close to $100,000 will be making its way to communities. 

Here is a list of the volunteer groups and their members who received the financial benefits. Presenting the cheques is Amy Doepker, marketing manager for Discovery Ford.
