Peoria Ford and Pat Hickey: with us since day one

When the first A Day of Giving came together in Old Town Peoria on December 16, 2017, Peoria Ford was one of the local businesses that helped pay for it. They have stood with Peoria families every year since.

Pat Hickey, general manager and partner of Peoria Ford, has been a big part of that. In 2023 the Peoria Times named Pat and Mayor Jason Beck among the event's longtime supporters, and in 2024 Peoria Ford was one of the presenters of A Day of Giving at Peoria Sports Complex.

Giving back is part of how Peoria Ford works. The dealership has served the West Valley since 1991, and it runs a yearly Fill an F-150 water drive for the Salvation Army.

Thank you, Pat, and the whole Peoria Ford team, for showing up for Peoria families since day one.
