Patrick Scoggin, President and Owner of Huntington Ford in Rochester Hills, presented a check for $3,020 to Avondale Schools for the recently completed Ford Drive One 4 UR School event.

This widely popular test-drive program allowed Ford Motor Company and Huntington Ford to partner with Avondale High School and local community members to “get behind the wheel” of the new Ford products and raise funds for the school by test-driving an eligible Ford vehicle.

More than 150 people participated in the event, and for each driver from a unique household, Ford Motor Company and Huntington Ford donated $20 to the school.

“This is a tremendous program that supports our local schools and community and, at the same time,allows people to drive our exciting new products,” Scoggin said.

“The parents and teachers at Avondale really get behind this program to make it such a success.”

Since the start of the program in 2007, Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School events have raised more than $7million for hundreds of high schools across the country.

The funds raised during the Drive One 4 UR School program have helped fund many extracurricular activities, helping to ensure that these programs continue in the local communities.
