A true businessman always has heart!!!!! And they usually recognize many times the true bottom line is a much bigger picture than the actual bottom line. My hat is off to Mr. Skillman...and hope other businessmen throughout our country can follow Ray's leadership.:)

It has been asked," What's the difference between a philanthropist and a politician?"
The answer is," A philanthropist puts his money where his mouth is. A politician puts YOUR money where HIS mouth is!!"

This story makes me want to go buy a Ford from Mr. Skillman.

I as a Senior had to pay for sports and this was truely appreciated by myself. I knew what I wanted and had to work harder at it to get it.

What a huge move on Ray Skillmans part!

Thumbs down for all the lottery money being stolen from the system.....Lets not forget why Ray Skillman had to step up...

See, this is why you don't punish people for being successful by taking all their money in taxes.

This is a perfect example of the American entrepreneur. This is what most of them do. Here is a guy who employs 700 people in his community, and wants to employ another 100. And then he spends his advertising money in a way that helps the schools of his community.


Well done Ray Skillman, well done.

Now if the school system can just identify where the money they SHOULD have had to fund these programs is going and correct it all will be even BETTER. It shouldnt be up to an outside fund(congrats to Skillman) to make up for poor money management by the school system. It like the City closing 3 or 4 year old NEW schools because there were no children in the area to fill the schools. Planning?

It is a pleasure to know the Skillmans. They are a class act.

Maybe he has a little discount program within his business to help out heroes looking for a new car/truck. Either way, great job Mr. Skillman and thanks for the racing support as well.

Agreed! Ray is a Patriot! He is doing things to make his county, state and country better. That is a Patriot! Kudos to you Mr. Skillman! Jim
