Community fundraising event to benefit Orange Wave Band
(ROCKWALL-May 4, 2013) Across the U.S., vital music programs are affected annually due to growing budgetary constraints and lack of funding. Without fundraisers, youth miss out on valuable opportunities to expand their knowledge and diversify their interests. Rockwall Ford and Ford Motor Company are keeping these opportunities available for Rockwall High students. Funds help provide music lessons, competitions, band trips and more.
Rockwall High Band Boosters teamed with Rockwall Ford to bring Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program to the community, in an effort to raise up to $9,000 for Rockwall High Orange Wave Band. For every person who takes the wheel test-driving a new Ford at Wilkerson-Sanders Stadium between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 11, Rockwall Ford and Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the band.
Drivers must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. Bring the family and enjoy live entertainment, a Ford car show, Joe Willy’s burgers, drinks and a bake sale along with a silent auction and a bounce house.
‘Drive One 4 UR School is a win-win event. Everyone in the community is invited to drop by and have some fun with us,” said Michelene Trent, Event Chair.
The event will feature many vehicles from Ford’s impressive line-up. Dealership staff will be onsite to assist; otherwise this is a day to have fun driving a Ford and raising funds for the band.
