Hopkins Ford and Local Community Raises $2040.00 for Lower Mooreland High School

Innovative test-drive event yields much-needed money for Lower Mooreland Football Club

(Jenkintown, PA)
Hopkins Ford, Lower Mooreland High School and members of the local community raised $2040.00 for Lower Mooreland Football Team at a recent test-drive event, as part of Ford Motor Company's Drive One 4 UR School program. For each of the over 120 Lower Moreland-area residents who test-drove a Ford at Lower Mooreland High School last May, Hopkins Ford and Ford Motor Company donated $20, with funds going toward the Lower Mooreland Football Club.

Since the program's inception in 2007, Drive One 4 UR School has offered 275,000 test-drives at more than 1,500 events to generate over $5 million for high schools nationwide. The money raised during the Drive One 4 UR School program has helped ensure that extracurricular activities like sports and music programs continue in local communities.

"We are thrilled that so many people from the local community turned out to support Lower Mooreland Football Club, and I have never been more proud to be working at Ford dealer. Participants had the chance to take a fun, casual drive in one of our vehicles, while lending our students and community a much-needed helping hand," said Steve Jenet, Parts & Service Director, Hopkins Ford.

"With all the cutbacks in school budgets, finding creative ways to fundraise is imperative," said Lori Kennedy, President of the Lower Moreland Football Parents Club at Lower Mooreland High School. "What they're doing is a blessing for our students, and it says a lot about who they are as a company. The money raised on May 21^st will help support our Football Organization."

Hopkins Ford, located on The Fairway in Jenkintown, PA has been serving the community since 1971.
