Ford fundraiser for Carson High Baseball hits it out of the park!

Submitted by Dave Morgan on Wed, 03/10/2010 - 6:02pm
Capital Ford General Manager Tim Milligan reports to CarsonNow.org that their recent fundraiser for Carson High Boys Baseball was a big hit.  Around 300 Carson area residents came down to the northwest parking lot of the high school March 6th to each get $20 donated by Ford to the boys baseball team for just test driving a new Ford, Mercury or Lincoln vehicle. All total, $6,000 went to Carson Senators Baseball.  It was a sequel to last year's successful event that also raised $6,000 for the Senator Girls Softball.
 
“It was great to see so many people come out and support Carson High School. The day also provided us with a great chance to showcase our outstanding lineup of vehicles in a fun, casual environment,” said Tim Milligan, general manager of Capital Ford.

 

“During a tough economy, school fundraising is hit particularly hard,” said Coach Cody Farnworth. “I’m moved by Ford’s and Capital Ford’s commitment to help our community. The money raised on March 6 will really help the boys’ baseball teams."

 

In the short time Ford has been holding their 'Drive One 4 UR School' program, they have raised over $2.3 million among 700 high schools nationwide for sports and high school band projects.  An estimated 125,000 parents, family members and friends have spent time behind the wheel of new Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles to help raise money for their "home teams."  Milligan says Capital Ford is receiving many requests from other schools and organizations seeking to have such an event held in their communities.
