Community Giving & Outreach

Capistrano Ford has partnered up with the Boys and Girls Club to help battle the Coronavirus. Since closing their doors in March, the organization has delivered more than 5,000 meals and activity kits to members and local families in need as part of their COVID-19 Emergency Food Program. Thank you for your amazing support and community involvement during this trying time.

Tuttle-Click Automotive Group is committed to partnering with the Challenged Athletes Foundation, who is dedicated to changing the lives of challenged athletes of all ages and abilities. Last year, this foundation provided almost 4,000 individual grants for adaptive sports equipment, coaching, travel funding, and competition expenses totaling 5.9 million in support. We are honored to be a part of their mission!

On January 15, we spent the evening celebrating the accomplishments of our members in the prior year. Our First Annual Blue Door Awards was attended by nearly 300 people to recognize more than 100 youth in 12 categories. Highlights of the evening included the official launch of our Ford Junior Youth of the Year program, made possible by the Ford Fund, and partnership with Tuttle-Click Capistrano Ford, including our first-ever Ford Junior Youth of the Year, Marianne Harrington. We also named Bianca Medina as Youth of the Year. She will now compete against the Youth of the Year winners from the other Orange County Boys & Girls Clubs.

Congratulations to our Punt, Pass, Kick Challenge winners from San Juan and Laguna Hills High School. Pictured is our General Manager, Steve Smith with the winning team members! Tuttle-Click Capistrano Ford is proud to help our local schools and athletes go further. We are a proud to sponsor both San Juan Hills and Laguna Hills High School. When the community works together as a team, great things happen for our students.

Tuttle-Click’s Capistrano Ford hosted a career day for the Boys and Girls Club of Capistrano. General Manager, Steve Smith and Service Director, Rich Rader, led the kids on a tour of the dealership and service department.

Capistrano Ford Team had a great time representing our dealership while supporting out troops by raising money for the “Socks for our Heros” program. Rich Rader, Tuttle-Click Fixed Operations Director, Pat Didonato (Capistrano Ford Parts Manager) and three Capistrano Ford long time customers did very well. The event generated enough money to ship another 18,000 pairs of socks forward to the men and women serving our nation. Hoorah! For more info visit San Clemente Marine Corps Support Group.
