Test drive a new Ford Motor Company car courtesy of Mullinax Ford at New Smyrna Beach High School to help raise $8,000 for the Cudas

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Mullinax Ford is offering New Smyrna Beach High School the opportunity to raise $8,000. Members of the community can earn money for NSBHS by simply test-driving a new Ford at the school, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 7.

For each person who takes a Ford for a spin during the "Ford Drive One 4 UR School" event, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to New Smyrna Beach High School for up to 300 drivers. Mullinax Ford will donate an additional $2,000 for an additional 100 drivers - 400 Drivers equals $8,000. What a deal!

Last year, NSBHS had 365 drivers and its goal this time around is 400 drivers. The test-drive will only take about 4 to 5 minutes and then the test driver will need to complete a short questionnaire that will take another 3 to 4 minutes. The test driver can even decide which group, class, sport or program gets the $20. As always, there are rules: Test drivers must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license with them. And there is a limit of one test drive per household (address).

"Come to New Smyrna Beach High School on Saturday, April 7th between 9 and 4, drive a new Ford and help raise money for the Barracudas," the school emphasized in a press release. For more information, please call Suzy Talbott, secretary to Principal Jim Tager at 386-424-2555, ext. 38520.
