Jay McFarland is leading his family business, Hampton Ford Hyundai, on a mission to be the automotive home of drivers up and down the Seacoast. We at The Music Hall are mission-focused, too, and we appreciate Jay’s drive.
The McFarland family has extensive roots in the region. First came Exeter Ford, followed by Hampton Ford in 1984, and the Hyundai line in 1990. Jay oversaw Hampton Ford Hyundai’s move to their current location at 177 Lafayette Road and a decade later, his interest in minimizing the strain we put on the world inspired him to outfit part of the campus with solar panels.
It was this desire to serve his community and steward its resources that brought Jay to The Music Hall. Hampton Ford Hyundai has held several sponsorship positions and is currently a Series Sponsor of Music in the Historic Theater as well as a supporter of our Give the Gift of Magic campaign to provide tickets to neighbors in need.
Jay has referred to Music Hall sponsorship as “a feel-good with results and friendships.” If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Sara Turner, Corporate Relations Manager, at 603-766-2179 or sturner@themusichall.org.
