Plains, MT - Ford Motor Company and Rehbein Ford will be partnering to help raise money in support of local high schools as part of Ford's Drive One 4 UR School program.

Plains community members will have the opportunity to participate and help raise up to $6,000 for local high schools by test driving a Ford vehicle at Rehbein Ford.

Rehbein will be working with local high schools to host the one-day event that will take place on June 19th.

Ford Motor Company and Rehbein Ford will donate $20 to local high schools for every person from a unique household who test drives a Taurus, Fusion Hybrid, Escape, F-150, or Super Duty. Participants will be raising money for local high school booster clubs.

Rehbein Ford participated in Ford's Drive One 4 UR School program in 2009 and raised over $2,000 for local high schools which also went to the booster clubs.

Since the start of the program in 2007, Ford's Drive One 4 UR School program has raised more than $2.3 million for close to 700 high schools across the country and has enabled more than 125,000 people to test drive new Ford vehicles.

The monies raised during the Drive One 4 UR School program have helped fund extracurricular activities like sports and band programs, helping to ensure that these programs continue in local communities.

In addition to raising much-needed revenue for high school extracurricular activities, Ford Motor Company's Drive One 4 UR School program also gives participants the chance to take a look at Ford and Lincoln Mercury's exciting new cars and technologies.

"We're excited to help raise money for the local schools and at the same time showcase our innovative lineup," said Pete Whittenburg of Rehbein Ford.

"It's important that students continue to have opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, and we're very proud of our current vehicles."

To participate, please visit Rehbein Ford between 10:00am and 4:00pm on Sunday, June 19th.
