The Drive 4 Your School, sponsored by Kerlin Ford Motors of Silver Lake is returning to Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation this Friday, Sept 12 for one of the school's most impactful fundraisers of the year.
According to a news release from TVSC, the event gives community members the opportunity to support local students simply by taking a short test drive in a Ford vehicle. For every test drive and completed survey, Ford will donate $30 to TVSC, giving the school the potential to raise up to $6,000 in a single day.
“This fundraiser is a perfect example of how small actions can lead to big impact. This is one of the easiest ways to make a big difference.” said Ashlie Schlemmer, director of communications and marketing.
Funds raised from Friday's event will go towards student programs, academic competitions and special incentives for both students and staff. Those interested in participating will need to pre-register using the quick form provided by the school.
Event location and times are Akron Elementary School from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., Mentone Elementary School from 10 a.m. to noon, and TVMS/TVHS campus (kickoff event) from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m.
