TAZ - 2020 MUSTANG ECOBOOST
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

I became an ambassador for Mission 22, a non profit organization to help end Veteran suicide. I then talked to my graphics guy at Wildside Graphics in town and we came up with an idea. The 22 on the door stands for the 22 Veterans a day we lose to suicide. The hood design has the Teal ribbon representing PTSD awareness. On the rear fenders is the Veterans Crisis line number. The trunk lid has two medallions, one with a Yellow ribbon for suicide awareness and the other a Teal ribbon for PTSD. I raise awareness and funds during car shows and events. The money raised gets
