Auckland All Ford Day

The “All Ford Day” is a car show organised once a year by five Auckland Ford clubs.

The AFD is an annual summer-time (early April) event that began in 1999 as a small club get together. Ford owners and owners of Ford-powered vehicles brought their vehicles along on the day to showcase them to other blue oval enthusiasts. Initially the event was held at The Jolly Farmer Inn in Drury but soon outgrew this so the event was moved to Ford Motor Companies’ very own car park in Wiri, but over the years outgrew its area and spread to Eden Park. 2009 saw a need for an even bigger location, being North Harbour Stadium and sponsorship was obtained from all three Auckland Ford Dealerships to help fund and promote the event.

Our organizing committee is made up of representatives from the Auckland Ford Dealerships, as well as one representative from each of five Ford Clubs – Auckland Falcon Owners Club, GT Falcon Club, Auckland Mustang Owners Club, Ford RS Owners Club & Ford Anglia 105E Enthusiasts Club.

Proceeds from the gate, food, cold drinks and ice creams go mostly to charity, this year being Foundation for Youth Development (FYD).

The Foundation for Youth Development (FYD) supports under 18 year olds from 5 different programs by providing them the skills to improve the lives of all young Aucklanders covering the entire spectrum from ‘in-risk’ youth to others who just need a nudge in the right direction to stay on track. FYD’s programs teach life skills that are not a part of the school curriculum.

FYD is focused upon building a youth population with a positive outlook, helping young Kiwis everywhere to discover possibility, transform their lives, and reach their full potential.

FYD works directly within our local communities and believes that positive development of our young people is the best weapon to fight our negative youth statistics. www.fyd.org.nz
