An exciting test-drive fundraising event will generate up to $6,000 for the Mitchell Middle School Playground, helping students in the local community.
Across Manitoba, there are vital school programs that are being cut annually due to growing budgetary constraints and lack of funding. Today’s youth are missing out on extremely valuable opportunities to expand their physical skills, as well as the chance to have a little fun! Fairway Ford in Steinbach wants to keep these opportunities available for our local students at the Mitchell Middle School.
Fairway Ford is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School program to the community of Mitchell, in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Playground Equipment. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at the Middle School in Mitchell on Wednesday October 3, 2012, Fairway Ford and Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the school. The funds will purchasing playground equipment for the school.
“We know funding for school programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Ron Loeppky, Dealer Principal at Fairway Ford. “We’re excited to raise money for the Mitchell Middle School.”
The event, which will be held from 6 pm to 9 pm, will feature many vehicles from Ford’s impressive line-up. “Whether you are looking to test out our larger vehicles, like the Explorer or F-150, or are more interested in a smaller sedan, like the Focus, we will be able to put you behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle,” said Loeppky. Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test-drive.
Since the start of Ford’s Drive 4 UR School program in 2007, more than $11 million in donations have been generated for high schools nationwide.
