The NHADA Education Foundation was excited to be on hand as Ford donated a 5.4L V8 engine to the [CRTC Automotive program](https://thecrtc.org/automotive-technology/). The engine will be used to educate, train, and support students in completing Ford service training through the [ACE program](https://www.newfordtech.com/Programs). Adam Memmolo of [Grappone](https://www.grapponeford.com/) and Ford representatives were on hand to present the engine to CRTC automotive instructor Scott Mayotte and his students.

> “This engine is going to be put to great use in our lab and will work in conjunction with the Ford training we are providing students,” said Scott Mayotte. “The partnerships with Ford and Grappone are essential to the success of this program and we are grateful for this generous donation.”
