The tribute sticker initiative was organised by model car maker Authentic Collectables in partnership with Ford Australia, as a way of honouring Moffat and his contribution to the sport and the dementia community.

Ford teams carried the tribute decals on their Mustangs at the Adelaide final round last year as a mark of respect. Fans were then given the opportunity to purchase the stickers, with proceeds going to Dementia Australia.

Professor Tanya Buchanan, CEO of Dementia Australia, acknowledged the contribution made by the motorsport community:

“Thank you to everyone who supported Allan and Dementia Australia by purchasing a tribute sticker. Allan was wholeheartedly committed to supporting Australians impacted by dementia through his work as a Dementia Australia Patron. It is incredible to see his work and legacy carry on and continue to improve the lives of people living with dementia, their families and carers."

Phil Grant (pictured above right), Allan Moffat’s manager and carer, also recognised the collective effort behind the initiative:

"Thank you to everyone involved in initiating and supporting this wonderful tribute to Allan at the final round of the Supercars season in Adelaide.

“We are incredibly grateful to Ford Australia and Ben Nightingale for facilitating the initiative and for the support of all Ford teams in displaying these stickers on their Mustangs to represent their teams.

“A special thank you to Aaron Noonan for supplying the images used on the sticker, and to Authentic Collectables, particularly William, for managing the logistics, sales, postage, and handling to ensure these reached the fans.

“This was a fantastic joint effort, and I sincerely thank everyone involved. You all helped make it a smooth project and contributed to a truly great outcome."

Authentic Collectables' William Hall (pictured above centre) said the project held deep personal meaning.

“I feel incredibly privileged to have spent time with Allan over the years during my time as general manager of Biante Model Cars. He was not only a legend of our sport, but also a genuine and generous person who cared deeply about the causes he supported.

“This initiative was also very personal for me. Dementia is something very close to my heart, as my mum passed away from the illness only a few years ago after being diagnosed around a similar time to Allan. Being able to contribute in some small way to supporting Dementia Australia, while also honouring Allan’s legacy, was simply something I felt I had to do.

"I’m also incredibly grateful to Ben Nightingale and the team at Ford Australia for not only creating the original tribute and ensuring the sticker appeared on every Ford Mustang Supercar, but also for allowing us to reproduce the sticker so fans could show their support and help raise funds for Dementia Australia.

"To see the motorsport community get behind this cause and help us raise such a significant amount is something I’m extremely proud to have been part of.”

While the campaign has now ended, a limited number of Allan Moffat tribute stickers remain available and can be purchased here.
