Capital Ford and Carson City community set to raise as much as $6,000 for Carson High School
Ford Motor Company and Capital Ford in Carson City are partnering to help raise money in support of Carson High School as part of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program.
Members of the local Carson City community will have the opportunity to raise up to $6,000 for Carson High School by test driving a Ford vehicle at Carson High School on October 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For every person from a unique household who test drives 2010/2011 Taurus, Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Escape, Explorer, Ranger, F-150, Edge, Super-Duty, Transit Connect or Mustang. Capital Ford will donate $20 to Carson High School. Carson High School will split the funds raised between the girls’ and boys’ Soccer teams.
“We’re excited to help raise money once again for Carson high School and at the same time introduce parents, teenagers and other drivers to our high quality lineup and innovative safety technologies,” said Tim Milligan, General Manager at Capital Ford. “We know it is important that students continue to have opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, and that’s why over the past two years it has been a privilege to help support these important programs.”
Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, over 173,000 people have helped raise more than $3.3 million for nearly 1,000 high schools across the country. In March, Capital Ford raised $6,000 for the Baseball teams of Carson High School and an additional $6,000 in 2009 for the Carson High girls’ Basketball teams.
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 leading safety technologies, including:
MyKey™, a system that allows parents to limit a vehicle’s top speed and audio volume to encourage safe driving behavior in teens;
SYNC®, the fully integrated, in-vehicle voice-activated communications and entertainment system with 911 AssistTM, Vehicle Health Report and GPS-based features including business search and call completion;
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™) with Cross Traffic Alert, which uses radar to check the blind spot and helps notify the driver of approaching traffic when backing out of a parking spot; and,
Active Park Assist, a technology that helps drivers position the vehicle for parallel parking and then steer it into a parking spot without touching the steering wheel.
Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test drive per household.
