Educational budget cuts are common, forcing schools in every state to either eliminate valued programs or search for other means of funding.

“We know how important extracurricular activities are to our high school students, and as part of this community, we want to help,” said Aki Henderson, business development manager at Henderson Ford. “This is why we’re excited to raise money for Bishop Kearney High School meanwhile introducing parents, teenagers and other drivers to our high-quality lineup and innovative safety technologies.”

To address these needs at a local level and empower communities to support and protect valued programs, Ford Motor Company and its dealers partner with high schools across the United States to offer the Drive One 4 UR School program. This initiative has raised more than $10 million through nearly 3,000 events since its inception in 2007, and provides up to $6,000 per school through test drives of Ford products.
