River Valley Ford SCC fundraiser set for Saturday

Talk about it

St. Croix Central High School has the potential to earn up to $6,000 for academic programming if residents test drive a River Valley Ford vehicle at the school on April 21.

Across the United States, vital school programs are being cut due to growing budgetary constraints and lack of funding. Today’s youth are missing out on extremely valuable opportunities to expand their knowledge and diversify their interests, as well as a chance to have a little fun. River Valley Ford of Baldwin wants to keep these opportunities available for students at St. Croix Central High School.

River Valley Ford is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program to SCCHS in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for the school’s academic programming. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at the SCC High School on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the high school.

Corey Hawkins and Andy Lamb, co-owners of River Valley Ford, said they’re excited to remain committed to the community with such a worthy event. This is the second year River Valley Ford has conducted a Drive One 4 UR School fundraiser. Last year more than 300 people took part in similar efforts for the Baldwin-Woodville School District.

Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, more than $9 million in donations have been generated for high schools nationwide.

Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household.
