Ford Drive 4UR School Fundraiser

Saturday, September 17, 2016
9 am – 3 pm
Rowlett High School Parking Lot 

Click below to sign up to volunteer

You’re invited to get behind the wheel of a new Ford vehicle. For every test-drive taken, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the Mighty Eagle Band, for a total of up to $6,000. The more people that drive, the more we earn, So spread the word!!

Drive 4 UR School began in 2007 as a way for Ford to give back to communities across the country. The idea was simple: Test-drive a Ford vehicle from a local dealership, get money for your high school. The success of the school program inspired the launch of Drive 4 UR Community, allowing Ford Dealers to partner with nonprofit organizations as well. Thousands of events and $30 million in donations later, participants are still test-driving for a cause that they - and Ford - are equally passionate about.

The Rowlett Band will be participating in this fundraiser on Saturday, September 17, 2016 at Rowlett High School. We need student helpers for this event. If you can help, please sign up for one of our two shifts from 9am to Noon or Noon to 3pm.
