Big Country Ford and area high schools will once again partner together to raise up to $6,000 for Project Graduation. Parents and students from Bangs, Brownwood, Early, May and Zephyr will be on hand April 16th at the Brownwood Coliseum for Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School Event.
From 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., the public is invited to stop by and test drive a new Ford car, SUV, or Truck from Big Country Ford and earn $20 for their school’s Project Graduation.
Big Country Ford’s General Manager Thomas Scull said, “This is one of our favorite events each year. Helping raise money so graduating seniors can have a safe and fun graduation night is something we take very serious, and hope everyone in each community will too. We encourage the people in our area to help us reach our goal of 300 test drives and raise $6,000.”Participants must be 18 years old with a valid driver’s license to participate and test drives are limited to one per household.
Scull added, “Each school will have booths with food, drinks and baked goods for sale. So come enjoy the day, have lunch with us and help raise $6,000 for Project Graduation.”
