Team Description

Ford Motor Company’s involvement with Breakthrough T1D began in 1983 when Ford hosted a Breakthrough T1D Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraiser at Ford’s Research & Engineering Center in Dearborn, Michigan. In 1998, Ford organized a formal Walk team with Edsel B. Ford II as the Corporate Team Chair and participated in Breakthrough T1D walks at three sites in Southeastern Michigan. Ford expanded this relationship with the creation of the employee-driven Ford Global Action Team (FGAT), combining the passion and power of Ford employees, families, and friends, as well as key business partners and the UAW. With tens of thousands of volunteers working together, the FGAT has consistently raised more than $3 million annually over the past twenty-six years, with more than 90 fundraising teams across 40 global sites. We are proud to continue our participation in the Breakthrough T1D Walk and invite you to join us as we walk to create a world without type 1 diabetes!

Our Miles Towards Mission

In support of the 1.45 million Americans living with T1D, our miles will be counted towards a collective goal of walking 1.45 million miles.
