The Ford Motor Company Fund, Delta Dental, and the Lightship Foundation are joining forces with mobile dental services firm Kare Mobile to give one minority dentist the opportunity to win a $150,000 Ford Transit mobile dental office.

The Motor City Kares giveaway aims to provide quality, reliable dental care for children and families in the low-income communities of southeast Michigan, including Detroit's Corktown and Mexicantown neighborhoods. The dentist will be mentored by the team at Kare Mobile and attend an incubator bootcamp run by the Lightship Foundation.

The winning dentist will operate the mobile dental clinic for at least two years, allowing him or her to build a stable practice that also includes non-Medicaid patients, the organizations said. However, at least 50% of the dentist's time must be devoted to serving low-income communities. At the end of the agreement, the person can keep the business and mobile clinic.

The giveaway runs from March 5 to April 16, with the winner notified in late spring. Interested minority dental professionals can learn more and apply at kare.mobi/mck.
