HOLLIS – Across the United States, there are vital arts, music and sports programs that are being cut annually due to growing budgetary constraints and lack of funding.

Today’s youth may be missing out on opportunities to expand their knowledge and diversify their interests, as well as the chance to have a little fun.

Best Ford Lincoln wants to keep these opportunities available for students at Hollis Brookline High School.

Best Ford Lincoln is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program to the Hollis community in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Hollis Brookline High School. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at HBHS, at 24 Cavalier Court in Hollis, on May 11, Best Ford Lincoln and Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the booster clubs at Hollis Brookline High. The funds will be used to pay for new uniforms and other needed equipment for various different programs offered at the school.

“We know funding for school programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Michael Frassica, general manager at Best Ford Lincoln. “We’re excited to raise money for Hollis Brookline High School.”

The event, which will be held from 10 a.m.-8 p.m., will feature the many vehicles from Ford’s lineup.

“Whether you are looking to test out our larger vehicles, like the Explorer or F-150, or are more interested in a smaller sedan, like the Focus, we will be able to put you behind the wheel of your favorite Ford vehicle,” Frassica said.

Dealership staff on site will be able to assist with all Ford vehicles and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test-drive.

Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, more than $9 million in donations have been generated for high schools nationwide.

Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household. All test-drives will last approximately 7-10 minutes.
