Archie Cochrane Ford's Cruise4URSchool program was a lot of fun on Sept. 19th and 20th. There were several people that showed up for the event and drove some great new Ford Products. The money that these folks earned their school will be donated by Ford Motor Company and Archie Coochrane Ford. Also, there were a few sales that also earned the schools an additional $100 each donated by the dealership for supporting the program. As most of us know, the school systems send out cookies, popcorn, pizza and a host of other products for kids to sell. We don't know how much money really goes to these schools, but we know how frustrating it is to continually have to buy things from the kids. Of course, you don't want to turn them down! Pretty soon the pantry is full of all kinds of foods that you've purchased to help the kids.
Our program was focused on a $20 bill. Ford Motor Company merely wanted to get the word out on all of the new products and vehicles that the company has to offer. Ford also realizes that your time is valuable so they decided to donate $20 for the test drive and your time. (1 per household).
It was fun to see the reactions of people that haven't driven a Ford Product yet. For example, one individual was so impressed with the new Microsoft Syc system in the Ford Flex that they actually ended up buying one. The Flex offered everything that they were looking for in a vehicle, Plus, the fuel economy was excellent.
Archie Cochrane will continue to offer it's own program... $100 for the purchase of a new or used vehicle to the school of your choice. Garry Brayko, owner of Archie's has offered this program until the end of the year. Garry knows how important it is to keep school programs going. His wife is a former Catholic School Teacher. He says, "I know how tight funds are for extra curricular activities, so we need to continue this program." We are all greatful to have an owner like him that is willing to do this. Especially until the end of the year.
SO, HOW DO YOU PARTICIPATE?
You just need to mention this program to your salesman and tell him what school you would like to donate the $100 to (in your name). All vehicle purchases count. a new or used vehicle from us. Folks, this is a great way to get some needed funds back to your school. Best of all, it doesn't come out of your pocket!
