Yeah but he is NOT afraid to put the "Hammer" down on every run. People like him are more of what this country needs.

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...

This was an outstanding accomplishment and money well spent! Nothing like stepping up to the plate!

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.
