Fairway Ford and Kleefeld School Parent Teachers’ Association are partnering to help raise up to $6,000 as part of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited’s Drive 4 UR School program.

Members of the local community will have the opportunity on Wednesday, May 29, between 6pm and 9pm, to raise money for the school by test-driving a Ford vehicle. For every person who test-drives a Ford Taurus, Flex, Escape, Fusion, Fiesta, Focus, F-150, Mustang, Super Duty and other available models at this one-day event, Ford of Canada and Fairway Ford will donate $20 to the Kleefeld School PTA in support of new playground equipment.

Since the start of Ford’s Drive 4 UR School and Community programs in 2010, more than 157,000 test-drives at more than 900 events have generated over $3 million in donations for high schools and organizations in Canada. More than $82,040 was raised in Manitoba through both the Drive 4 U School/Community programs last year.
