THE MUSTANG WORLD UNITES... Again! April 17th
Late 2015 we introduced the idea of all of the Mustang World coming together on April 17th and driving their Mustang. Thus National Mustang Day was born. The idea is to let the world know April 17th is owned by the Mustangs.
We expected 7,000 to 8,000 Mustang enthusiasts to sign up for the free window decal and create a Mustang activity with their Club that we could share on the National Mustang Day website.
Well, we grossly underestimated that number!!! We received close to 15,000 signups for National Mustang Day.
For the 2017 National Mustang Day we wanted to review the program and see how we can grow the engagement. We spoke with a number of clubs and individuals and received a lot of great ideas to help grow National Mustang Day, and create opportunities for more clubs to become involved.
Again, the goal is to register as soon as possible to allow us to list the clubs/groups/individuals participating on the National Mustang Day website, along with details of their planned activities.
One difference is the 2017 National Mustang Day window decal will cost $1.00 each. The decal cost will include shipping.
A number of clubs indicated the cost of the decal was understandable and it could give the club the opportunity to sell the decals to the members at $2.00 each to raise funds for their charity. We understand a number of the cruises from the 2016 National Mustang Day included a charity, so now the club can raise a few extra dollars for the charity. (This is strictly a suggestion, as the clubs/groups can offer the decal to their participants for what is best for their participants.)
In keeping with the idea of the National Mustang Day charity or club fundraising, the proceeds from the sale of the 2017 National Mustang Day window decals will go to the Mustang Owner’s Museum, as the Museum is planning on a National Mustang Day event.
An additional part of the 2017 National Mustang Day will include a section on the website listing:
