There was a strong show of support Saturday for the Gretna School playground project. Three hundred-twenty three drivers registered to test drive the all new lineup of 2017 & 2018 Ford cars, SUVs, F-150s, and Super Duty during the 

Ford DRIVE 4UR School/Community fund raiser hosted by Rhineland Car.

"The day started out quite cloudy, windy and cold but as the day warmed up and the sun came out, so did the people!," said spokesperson Mia Dick. "It was so awesome to see so many neighbouring communities all come together for this school playground.  We even had people as far west as British Columbia and Alberta out visiting who came out to support and partake in the event."
 
This was the dealership's 16th event with 19 school and community organizations since the Drive 4UR School/Community program's inception in 2010. According to a news release, Rhineland Car Co. Ltd. has since raised over $72,150 through Drive 4UR School and Community events, not including Saturday's fund raiser.
 
For every valid completed test drive, Ford of Canada donates $20 to the specific cause being supported (up to a maximum of $6,000)  throughout the calendar year.

Final tally of funds raised from Saturday's event are pending from Ford of Canada's Drive 4UR Headquarters.
