AKRON – Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation is gearing up for one of their fundraisers of the year — Drive 4 Your Community, sponsored by Kerlin Ford Motors in Silver Lake.
On Friday, community members will have the opportunity to support local students simply by taking a short test drive in a Ford vehicle. For every test drive and completed survey, Ford will donate $30 to our schools, with the potential to raise up to $6,000 in a single day, according to a news release from TVSC.
These funds directly support student programs, academic competitions and incentives for both students and staff.
“This event is a perfect example of how small actions can lead to big impact,” said Ashlie Schlemmer, director of communications and marketing. “This is one of the easiest ways to make a big difference.”
The event is at Akron Elementary School from 8 to 9:45 a.m.; Mentone Elementary School, 10:15 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.; and Tippecanoe Valley Middle School/Tippecanoe Valley High School campus, 12:30 to 7:30 p.m.
