Fundraiser Jump Starts Donations Test Drives to Accumulate Money for Great Cause

October 29, 2012(Stuart, FL) - Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties will team up with Advantage Ford of Stuart to host “Drive 4 Ur Community,” on Saturday, November 3rd, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The community is invited to come take a free test-drive and Ford Motor Company will donate up to $6,000 to BBBS! This is a fundraiser that will benefit children in our local communities!

Each and every valid test drive completed is positioned to donate $20 to BBBS. BBBS has a lofty but attainable goal of 300 test drives at the event, as $6,000 is the maximum cumulative donation, but this success is squarely dependent on the participation of the community.

Participants need not feel any pressure to purchase a vehicle to take part, for interest in this is not required. A valid driver’s license will suffice, with the driver being at least 18 years of age. Advantage Ford of Stuart’s General Manager is John Hall, a member of BBBS’ Board of Trustees. In hosting this potentially profitable fundraiser, Advantage Ford of Stuart will be contributing to a cause in which they are also a business mentor in the BBBS’ Career Skills Mentoring Program.
