The third annual Ford Drive One 4UR School Event was held at the Ranchland Mall parking lot on Saturday, September 13.  The fundraiser is a partnership arrangement between Castle Ford, Ford Canada, Matthew Halton High School Booster Club and Friends of St. Michael's. Ford Canada offers to pay $20 per household for a test drive on a new Ford vehicle, up to a total of $6,000.  "That's 300 drivers," said Castle Ford general Manager George Wolstenholme.  "We couldn't have asked for a better day, and this is all about the schools, and our community."


The sign up booths were busy
According to Wolstenholme this event made  $5,540 that was split between the two schools in 2013.  He believes that they had between 250 - 300 test drives on Saturday, raising  $5,000 to $6,000 to be split between the two schools.
