Innovative test-drive event yields much-needed money for booster club

Raytown, MO – Dick Smith Ford, Raytown South High School and members of the local community raised $2,000 for Raytown South High School at a recent test-drive event, as part of Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program. For each of the over 100 Raytown-area residents who test-drove a Ford vehicle at Raytown South High School on May 12, Dick Smith Ford and Ford Motor Company donated $20, with funds going toward the high school’s booster club.

Since the program’s inception in 2007, Drive One 4 UR School has offered 275,000 test-drives at more than 1,500 events to generate over $5 million for high schools nationwide. The money raised during the Drive One 4 UR School program has helped ensure that extracurricular actives like sports and music programs continue in local communities.

“It was fun to see all of the people from our community turn out in support of Raytown South High School. Participants really enjoyed the test drives and we all had a great time helping out the school through the Drive One 4 UR School event,” said Paul Richards of Dick Smith Ford.
