Vehicle test drives to raise money for Bigfork High School again

The Bigfork Booster Club in conjunction with Valley Ford of Kalispell is holding another Drive One 4 UR School event at Flathead Bank in Bigfork on Aug. 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For every vehicle that is test driven during the event, $20 will be donated to Bigfork High School Booster Club.

The previous Drive One 4 UR School fundraiser was held at Bigfork High School last spring and it raised $2,240. The goal for this time around is $6,000.

The event will feature the Ford Explorer, Focus, Fiesta, Fusion, Edge, F-150, Mustang, and the all new 2013 Taurus.

The drives will only take about 5 minutes each. Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household.

This is not a “sales” event but is all about getting funds into the local high schools. Drive One 4 UR School is a program of Ford Motor Company. Since the start of the program in 2007, more than 275,000 test-drives at more than 1,500 events have generated over $5 million in donations for high schools nationwide.

The event will also serve as Flathead Bank’s Annual Membership Drive.

Pre-registration for test drives will be accepted by calling Patricia Landon at 261-0786. For more information about Ford or this fundraising opportunity please visit www.valleyfor dusa.com or follow the event on www.facebook.com/val leyfordusa.
