Drive on for ur school

Imagine being paid to test-drive a brand new car to raise money for your school. Sounds like just another dream that won’t ever happen. It’s not anymore, thanks to Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealerships across the nation. They have developed a new way to help high schools raise money to support the schools sports and extracurricular activities. The dealership allows students who have their license, to test-drive brand new cars in order to raise money for their school.

            Palmetto High School is happy to be apart of this amazing opportunity. For every student that drives one of their cars they will pay them $20 and the maximum limit is $6000. Palmetto’s goal is to have at least 300 students drive their cars, so far we’ve had 250 students.

            One of the coaches and teachers at Palmetto High, Coach Marino had a good relationship with the manager of Ford and decided to give Palmetto a chance at this fundraiser. With the money raised, they hope to redo the score board on the football field and put all of the school’s athletic accomplishment from the past and the present for everyone to see.
