JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Residents and students 18 years-old or older will be able to test drive a vehicle and raise money for the Jamestown High School today.
Drive 4 UR School is a fundraising effort created by the Ford Motor Company in which test drives generate $20 that is then donated to a school or organization of choice. The events have the potential to raise up to $6,000.
Tara Kapp with RM Stoudt says they’ve been working on bringing the Drive 4 UR School test drive to Jamestown for over a year.
Kapp says interested individuals can come to the Jamestown High School from 2 to 6 PM today to test drive a vehicle. She says that’s all that’s needed and then Ford does the rest.
Jamestown High School Principal Adam Gehlhar says they have plans in place for the funds raised in the event.
Principal Gehlhar says they are also adding an enrichment period in the 2018-19 school year where career presenters will come into the school to talk about their career and answer student questions on those careers.
The free test drive fundraiser will be located at the Jamestown High School parking lot from 2 to 6 PM.
