Across the United States, there are vital arts, music and sports programs that are being cut annually due to growing budgetary constraints and lack of funding. Today's youths are missing out on valuable opportunities to expand their knowledge and diversify their interests, as well as the chance to have a little fun! Riser Ford wants to keep these opportunities available for the local students at Cutter Morning Star High School.
Riser Ford is bringing Ford Motor Co.'s Drive 4 UR School program to the Hot Springs community in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Cutter Morning Star's athletic programs. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at Cutter's gym parking lot on Saturday, Ford Motor Co. will donate $20 to Cutter's athletic programs.
"We know funding for school programs is hard to come by and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available," said Kyle Outler, new car sales manager at Riser Ford, in the press release. "We're excited to raise money for Cutter's athletic programs."
The event, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., will feature many vehicles from Ford's "impressive line-up." "Whether you are looking to test out our fuel efficiency vehicles, like the Focus, or want to try out technology features like Active Park Assist in the Escape, we will be able to put you behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle," said Outler. Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test-drive.
To date, Ford dealerships across the United States have helped raise more than $35 million for local schools and nonprofits thanks to their hard work and partnership with the Drive 4 UR School and Drive 4 UR Community programs.
"To participate in this exciting event and get behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle, please visit 2801 Spring St. and follow the event signs to the gym parking lot between 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday," continued the release.
Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver's license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household. All test-drives will last approximately 7-10 minutes.
