The St. John’s, Newfoundland Chapter of All Ford Mustangs rolled onto the grounds of the Elaine Dobbin Center for Autism Sunday afternoon to cheer on the Targa Newfoundland Racing for Autism team.
Ray Halleran and Justin Gibbons were not racing Halleran’s 2010 Mustang GT Sept. 20; they were carrying the spoils of the race they had just finished.
Halleran decided to participate in the well-known tarmac rally that covers more than 2,000 kilometres of the province’s backroads and town streets to raise cash and awareness for autism. The Mustang was decorated with autism-society symbol puzzle pieces, each carrying the name of a child with autism.
Halleran gathered money from his sponsors and fellow competitors, and was happy to hand over the cheque for $11,000 to the province's autism society.
The society threw a party to coincide with the presentation, with a barbecue, a bouncy tent for the kids and the opportunity to hop in the Racing for Autism Mustang, or have a picture taken with Ray and Justin.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Mustangs Club added the "Racing For Autism" reception as the final destination of their weekly Sunday Mustang Brunch and Cruise, making it a fun filled day long event for all Mustangers in attendance.
