Ford Motor Company and Alexander Automall will be partnering to help raise money in support of Oakland High School as part of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program.
Murfreesboro community members will have the opportunity to participate and help raise up to $6,000 for Oakland High School by test driving a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle at the high school. Alexander Ford Lincoln Mercury will be working with Oakland High School to play host to the one-day event that will take place Saturday, May 22.
Ford Motor Company and Alexander Ford Lincoln Mercury will donate $20 to Oakland High School for every person from a unique household who test drives a 2010 Taurus, Fusion Hybrid, or other Ford vehicle. Participants will be raising money for the football booster club. This is Alexander Ford Lincoln Mercury’s first time to partner with a local high school for a Drive One 4 UR School event.
Since the start of the program in 2007, Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program has raised more than $2.3 million for close to 700 high schools across the country and has enabled more than 125,000 people to test drive new Ford vehicles. The monies raised during the Drive One 4 UR School program have helped fund extracurricular activities like sports and band programs, helping to ensure that these programs continue in local communities.
In addition to raising much-needed revenue for high school extracurricular activities, Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program also gives participants the chance to take a look at Ford and Lincoln Mercury’s exciting new cars and technologies. Just one example is Ford’s U.S. flagship, the Taurus, which is America’s smartest full-size sedan. The Taurus offers 10 class-exclusive technologies, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™) with Cross Traffic Alert, Ford SYNC™ with 911 Assist, and voice-activated navigation with SIRIUS® Travel Link™, to name a few.
“We’re excited to help raise money for Oakland High School and at the same time showcase our innovative lineup,” said David Lee, General Manager at Alexander Ford Lincoln Mercury. “It’s important that students continue to have opportunities to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities, and we’re very proud of our current vehicles.”
To participate, please visit Oakland High School between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, May 22. |
