Ford Mustang Gwinnivere Raises Cancer Awareness in North Carolina

Cancer Awareness Pink and Black Ford Mustang Gwinnivere
October is breast cancer awareness month. We wanted to share with you a very special Mustang that sits on our showroom floor. This 2012, Shadow Black, Mustang (Gwinnivere) started out as a birthday present from Les Dutcher to his wife Michelle. Michelle has been an advocate of cancer so she decided to add a set of pink stripes to her new Mustang. Tragic news strikes and Michelle found out she has breast cancer. With her now being a patient and an advocate, Michelle and Les began showing their Mustang at local car shows. Thankfully, she won her battle with breast cancer but their journey has only just begun. Their 2012 Mustang would then become dedicated to everyone who has been affected by cancer. After a few signatures were added to the exterior of the Mustang and a fresh new set of pink wheels, Gwinnivere as we now know was born.After years on the road, traveling across the country to spread cancer awareness and hope to those affected, it was time to trade her in. Les and Michelle took Gwinnivere to Tindol ROUSH Performance to get a new 2015 ROUSH RS. The team at Tindol decided to carry on the tradition Les and Michelle had started just a few short years ago. They are honored to continue spreading hope and relief to thousands of individuals who have been touched by cancer's devastating grasp. We invite you to visit the Tindol Ford showroom in Gastonia, NC to see Gwinnivere and read the words of hope covereing every inch of this inspirational Ford Mustang's interior and exterior. Gwinnivere Ford Mustang Brings Cancer Awareness

Drive By Feeding - Appreciation for First Responders

On May 7th, 2020, Tindol Ford Subaru ROUSH took on the look of a drive thru restaurant, feeding Chick-fil-A lunch to 400 first responders in Gaston County. Fire trucks, police cruisers and EMS lined up outside the dealership for a free chicken sandwich, chips and dessert provided by the restaurant, Tindol and Harris Teeter and Food Lion. Natalie Tindol and others kept a quick pace in getting the emergency vehicles in and out of the parking lot. The event was held to thank those essential workers on the front lines in the battle against COVID-19. We are thankful for all our local hometown heroes and appreciate their dedication and commitment to our community.

The money is used to provide a safe place for kids to come after school, to provide a summer camp experience for kids in the community, to help fund the Safety Around Water program that teaches life-saving water skills, and to support the LiveStrong at the Y cancer wellness program that helps cancer survivors find support and wellness free of charge.
