Henson Brand Dealerships in Madisonville, Texas, honored a Huntsville Independent School District teacher with a 2021 Ford Bronco.

Suzanna Salazar was nominated by her colleagues as the lucky recipient of a two-year lease on a brand-new Ford Bronco.

“It’s extremely important that we recognize the people who are building our children’s futures, and I’m very passionate about this as a father with six daughters,” Chief Operating Officer of Foundation Automotive Corp. Chuck Kramer told Businesswire. “If it wasn’t for the teachers taking the time to go over and above, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Eric and I decided to bring the initiative back in our market area, especially with the added stress of COVID this year. It has been a difficult year for them, so we felt it was important to engage and celebrate the teachers this year and in the future by giving away a car."

Henson Brand Dealerships started the “Henson Hometown Heroes” to give back to the community, particularly to teachers during this unprecedented time.

Salazar’s Ford Bronco is the 38th vehicle that has been given away by Henson in less than three years since it joined the Foundation Automotive group, according to Businesswire.

Salazar, who has been teaching for nine years, is a third-grade math and science teacher at Huntsville Elementary.
