Price Ford fundraiser to raise money for high school orchestra Oct. 7

PORT ANGELES — Price Ford Lincoln of Port Angeles will team up with Port Angeles High School for the fourth annual Drive One 4 UR School event Sunday, Oct. 7.

The fundraiser — set from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Walmart, 3471 E. Kolonels Way — will support the high school orchestra program.

People can stop by and test-drive a new Ford or Lincoln vehicle, and for each test-drive, Price Ford Lincoln will donate $20 to the orchestra program.

Three hundred test-drives will earn $6,000 for the school.

The car company has said there will be no obligation or pressure to make a purchase.

All drivers must be 18 years or older and have a valid driver’s license.

Car seats cannot be accommodated.

There is a limit of one test-drive per address.

Previous Drive One 4 UR School events have raised funds for the high school’s band program, its athletic department and its career technical education program.

Ford Motor Co.’s Drive One 4 UR School program began nationally in 2007 and since then has sponsored 1,500 events in 49 states, offered more than 275,000 test-drives and raised more than $5 million for before-school and after-school activities in high schools across the country.
