Funds from Preston Ford Lincoln Mercury will help benefit the Class of 2010

The recent Drive One 4 UR School fundraiser sponsored by Ford Lincoln Mercury and Preston Ford Lincoln Mercury on April 25th generated over $600 for North Caroline High School. Ford Lincoln Mercury donated $20 for each household that drove one of six vehicles in its current lineup. At first count, over thirty members of the community participated in the unique event. “It’s always rewarding to be able to do something good for the community, and with the support of Ford Motor Company, the Drive One 4 UR School program was an excellent opportunity for Preston to help raise money for the NCHS Class of 2010,” said Diana Vincent, Director of Strategic Marketing and Public Relations. Since launching in December of 2007, more than 280 Drive One 4 UR School (formerly Cruise 4 UR School) events have taken place nationwide, raising over $750,000 to support extracurricular and sporting activities. Ford contributes up to $6,000 - the equivalent of 300 test-drives - to each participating school. Preston Ford and Dave Wilson, Owner have always been involved in the community, supporting Little League Teams, local schools and college programs, parks and recreation, fire companies, car and bike shows, ball teams, March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society, among other sponsorships and donations.
