Henry Ford’s great-great-granddaughter will be auctioning off a Ford Fusion Hybrid next month at a charity benefit for Heal the Bay. The environmental organization focuses on improving coastal water bodies in Southern California and is holding a fund-raising auction on May 28 during its Bring Back the Beach gala.
The event will include Elena Ford auctioning a brand new Ford Fusion Hybrid at the Santa Monica, California event. Many other people, celebrities, and business interests will be there in support of the group’s efforts.
Tickets are $500 per person. See the Heal the Bay website for more information.
