As we <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/05/jeep-follows-up-super-bowl-spot-with-call-to-help-the-uso/">mentioned earlier in the week</a>, Jeep has promised to give up to $300,000 to the United Services Organization (USO). The brand, whose own history is forever tied to this country's military, will donate $1 for every tweet with the hashtag #joinOSR, or visit to Yahoo.com or the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website.<br /><br />Ram had somewhat loftier goals, pledging to give up to $1 million to the <a href="https://www.ffa.org/Pages/default.aspx">Future Farmers of America</a>. The plan was to donate $100,000 for every 1 million times the commercial was seen, shared or emailed from its website. Now we have word from Ram brand chief Fred Diaz that the million-dollar goal has been reached less than five days after the ad first aired.<br /><br />The ad has reportedly done wonders for Ram, as well, with traffic to its website up ten-fold and dealers reporting their showrooms are fuller than before, sometimes with people who just want to say how much the ad had touched them.
