Brian Bemis Ford and SHS Orchesis Test Drive Fundrasier Success!

Friday September 23rd, before the homecoming football game, the Orchesis members of Sycamore High School recruited hundreds of people to test drive a new Ford in order to raise money for their team. They were able to raise funds by partnering with Brian Bemis Ford through a program called Drive One 4 UR School, a program in which Ford donates $20 to the high school for each qualifying test drive. This year there was an added bonus. If a person test drove a 2012 Ford Focus after their first vehicle, Ford would donate an additional $10! Each person who test drove could raise $30! This was such a great opportunity and the students took full advantage!

The students signed participants up and as soon as the Bemis staff was back from a test drive, there was another one ready to go. It was non-stop test drives for over 3 hours! We are very pleased to announce that there were 210 total test drives! With the Ford Focus bonus added in we were able to raise over $6,000! We would like to thank everyone who came out and test drove a Ford and for supporting Sycamore Orchesis.

As a fundraiser for St. Mary’s Catholic School, Brian Bemis World Auto staff was at the St. Mary’s School Back To School Dinner on Thursday August 18, 2011 with new Chrysler vehicles for people to test drive. For every test drive at the festival, $10 was donated to the school. We are excited to announce that we had a total of 82 test drives and $820 was donated to the school!

We would like to thank everyone that came out and test drove a vehicle and for their support of St. Mary’s Catholic School. The event was a great success!
