This weekend I am looking forward to a pretty exciting event. I'm going home to raise some money for my home FFA Chapter through Ford's Drive One for Your School! Plus, I'm pretty excited about the FREE Cotton Candy! That's always my favorite.
Here’s how it works: one person per household aged 18 or older can come out to the Trenton Middle School parking lot in the circle drive on Saturday anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and choose from a selection of new Ford or Lincoln vehicles to test drive. It's completely free on your part, but for every test drive the Trenton FFA will receive $20 up to $6,000. This year there's been a neat little twist added, Ford is sending an extra bonus car to be driven: the 2012 Ford Focus. Drivers who additionally test out the Ford Focus will earn an extra $10 for the chapter, meaning a total of $8000 could be raised in one day!
Where does all this money go? I can honestly say that the Trenton FFA takes pride in being able to help out its community through developing successful students and participating in community activities and projects. Last year’s funds raised from the Drive One for Your School went towards adopting several families at Christmastime and buying turkeys for the Food Pantry. The funds also go to ensure money does not stand in the way of any member’s FFA and career developing experience.
If you're around, I would encourage you to take a little time out of your day on Saturday the 10th anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to come Drive One for Your School. This is a really great opportunity from Ford to not only raise some money for the organization, but for the community to support the chapter. Community support is essential to any successful generation of students. Investing in the lives of these young leaders can help ensure the future of the community. Hope to see you there!
