Drive One 4UR School Check

Huntsville High School was the latest high school to benefit from the Drive One 4 UR School program. With the help of GM/ Managing Partner Justin Wright and Executive Assistant Lian Rhodes from Hillcrest Ford the event was held last month to help Huntsville High School support and increase their school activities such as arts, school spirit and much more. The event was a huge success thanks to the great support from customers and students that participated at the Hillcrest Store location in Huntsville, Texas. The event however came at a cost to one of our employees who said, “I got sun burnt standing outside helping people test drive their cars, but I was all worth it for the kiddos”.
Although this was the first year that Hillcrest Ford participated in the Drive One 4 Ur School Event Justin Wright was optimistic and stated that, “We hope to continue to make this event even greater, we also hope that next year we get even greater support from local businesses and organizations”.
The Drive One 4 UR School program was developed as a fun, engaging way to help high schools raise money to support their sports and extracurricular activities. Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealerships partner with a local high school to conduct the free test-drive fundraising event.
