Sunnyside Motors And Local Community To Raise As Much As $8000 For Wachusett Regional High School

Oct. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- HOLDEN, MA – Across the United States, there are vital arts, music and sports programs that are being cut annually due to growing budgetary constraints and lack of funding. Today’s youth are missing out on extremely valuable opportunities to expand their knowledge and diversify their interests, as well as the chance to have a little fun!  Sunnyside Motors wants to keep these opportunities available to our local students at Wachusett Regional High School!

On Saturday, November 12th, from 8am – 4pm, Sunnyside Motors is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program to the Holden/Worcester area community, in an effort to raise up to $8,000 for Wachusett Regional High School. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at Wachusett Regional High School on November 12th, Sunnyside Motors and Ford Motor Company will donate $20, up to $8000, to benefit the high school’s Booster Club to help fund much needed extra-curricular activities.

“We know funding for school programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Daniel Harrington, President of Sunnyside Motors in Holden. “We’re excited to raise money for the Wachusett Regional High School Booster Club and at the same time introduce parents, teenagers and other drivers to our high-quality lineup and innovative safety technologies.”

The event, which will be held from 8am to 4pm, will feature the many vehicles from Ford’s impressive line-up. “Whether you are looking to test out our larger vehicles, like the Explorer or F-150, or are more interested in a smaller sedan, like the Focus, we will be able to put you behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle,” said Daniel Harrington. Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for a test-drive.

Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, more than $7 million in donations have been generated for high schools nationwide.  This is the first time the team at Sunnyside Motors has participated in the Drive One 4 UR School program.
To participate in this exciting event and get behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle, please visit the lower parking lot of Wachusett Regional High School during the Craft Show, between 8am and 4pm on Saturday, November 12th.
