For each of the over 300 area residents who test-drove a Ford vehicle at Valmeyer High School last May 7, Sunset Ford and Ford Motor Company donated $20. Ford also donated an additional $10 for a second test drive of the all-new 2012 Ford Focus, up to an additional $2,000 with all funds going towards Valmeyer High School’s BOSS club.
