PORT ANGELES — Drivers can try out new Fords or Lincolns while helping to support Port Angeles High School athletic programs Sunday.
Price Ford Lincoln of Port Angeles has teamed up with Port Angeles High for the Drive One 4 UR School event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Walmart Supercenter, 3411 E. Kolonels Way.
For each test-drive taken by a participant, $20 will be donated to the high school by Ford Motor Co. up to $6,000.
The money is earmarked for new uniforms and equipment for the boys and girls basketball, football, cheer squad and baseball teams.
There will be no pressure to buy a vehicle. One test-drive is allowed per household.
Each driver must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license and valid automobile insurance.
Car seats cannot be accommodated for this event, the dealership said.
The car dealership put on a similar fundraiser at Sequim High School on May 31.
During the spring Drive One 4UR School, the car dealership donated $20 per test-drive to the Sequim Associated Student Body for a total of $5,080.
The fundraiser, the eighth the dealership has organized for area schools, was the second hosted by Sequim High.
Thousands of dollars
Over the years, this fundraiser has generated more than $46,000 for local high schools, with more than $30,000 going to student groups at Port Angeles High.
Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program began in 2007 and since then has sponsored 1,500 events in 49 states, raising more than $5 million for before- and after-school activities in high schools across the country.
Funds raised during the Drive One 4 UR School programs support such extracurricular activities as sports, music, career and technical education programs in local communities.
