Ford of Murfreesboro, Siegel High School and members of the local community raised $4940 for Siegel High School’s football booster club at a recent test-drive event, as part of Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program. Over 210 Murfreesboro-area residents took 341 test-drives of Ford and Lincoln vehicles at Siegel High School on May 22, 2011. Each test drive contributed to the $4940 that Ford Motor Company and Ford of Murfreesboro donated to the Siegel High School Football Booster Club.
Since the program’s inception in 2007, Drive One 4 UR School has offered 275,000 test-drives at more than 1,500 events to generate over $5 million for high schools nationwide. The money raised during the Drive One 4 UR School program has helped ensure that extracurricular actives like sports and music programs continue in local communities.
“We are thrilled that so many people from the local community turned out to support the Siegel High School Football Booster Club, and I’ve never been more proud to be a Ford dealer. Participants had the chance to take a fun, casual drive in one of our vehicles, while lending our students and community a much-needed helping hand,” said David Lee, General Manager at Ford of Murfreesboro.
“With all the cutbacks in school budgets, finding creative ways to fundraise is imperative,” said Jay Simpson, Vice President of the Siegel High School Football Booster Club. “What they’re doing is a blessing for our students, and it says a lot about who they are as a company. The money raised will help the football team with additional expenses.”
