Meet This Month's Partner
The fundraising may have changed, but the mission has not.
This June, we are honored to partner with Crawlin’ to a Cure, an Eagle Valley nonprofit doing business as Designs by Vikki.
Founded by Stewart and Vikki Hobbs, Crawlin’ to a Cure first began as a community off road race created to support local families facing cancer. When COVID brought the event to a halt, the Hobbs family refused to let the mission end. Instead, they found a new way forward. That new path became Designs by Vikki; a laser engraving and gift business built with purpose in every piece. Today, 100% of proceeds go directly back into the community, supporting local families impacted by cancer as well as the Tiffany Myers Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship helps graduating students in Eagle County public high schools whose immediate family has been affected by cancer continue pursuing their education and future goals.
What started as a race for cash has grown into something far greater, a mission rooted in compassion, resilience, and love for this community. Through it all, Crawlin’ to a Cure DBA Designs by Vikki has stood beside families in their hardest moments and celebrated their strength every step of the way.

Giving Back Partner With Us In Supporting Our Community
Since opening our doors in 1978, we’ve been dedicated to strengthening our community by supporting local charities, non-profits, and events. In this spirit, we launched the Community Partners Program in September 2019 to further this mission. Through Glenwood Springs Ford Community Partners, we collaborate with a different local non-profit each month to raise both funds and awareness for their vital work.
Our commitment is simple yet profound: for every vehicle we sell, we set aside $50 to match community giving up to $2,500. This means that together with our customers and partners, we can raise up to $5,000 for each featured organization. It’s a powerful way of joining hands with our neighbors and amplifying the impact of their efforts.
Moreover, we leverage our media platforms to spotlight these non-profits and share their stories with the community. By doing so, we help connect people who are eager to support causes that matter most to them. Together, through compassion and collaboration, we're not just selling vehicles; we're driving positive change in Glenwood Springs and beyond.

At Glenwood Springs Ford, we believe in driving more than cars- we strive to drive positive change. Our Community Partners Program is built around three core pillars that reflect our commitment to making a meaningful impact.
Youth Empowerment
This pillar supports programs and organizations that help young people thrive by providing access to education, mentorship, and skills development. By investing in youth initiatives, we aim to foster leadership, creativity, and confidence, ensuring the next generation has the tools to succeed and positively impact their communities.
Community Safety and Wellness
Our focus here is on enhancing the well-being and security of our community members. We partner with organizations promoting health, safety, and social services, from emergency response support to mental health advocacy. By prioritizing safety and wellness, we strive to create a healthier, more resilient community.
Outdoor Recreation and Conservation
Recognizing the beauty and importance of our natural surroundings, this pillar emphasizes the protection and enjoyment of outdoor spaces. We work with groups dedicated to preserving local ecosystems, expanding recreational opportunities, and promoting sustainable practices to ensure our environment remains vibrant for future generations.
