Booster Club Teams with Republic Ford for Fundraiser

September 23, 2009 By David Leave a Comment

If you’re planning to be at Pumpkin Daze on Saturday, Oct. 3, you’ll have a chance to raise money for the Republic Booster Club. The Booster Club is teaming up with Republic Ford Lincoln Mercury to raise up to $6,000. For every person who test drives one of the vehicles on display, Republic Ford Lincoln Mercury will donate $20 to the Booster Club.

You’ll be able to test drive the all-new Fusion, MKS, Flex, Milan, Taurus, Escape, Explorer, or Edge. And if the Booster Club can hit its goal of 300 test drives, it will make $6,000.

Each test drive will last 5 to 10 minutes, and you’re not obligated beyond the test drive. Drivers must be 18 or older, and have a valid driver’s license. And there’s a limit of one test drive per household. If you want more information about a vehicle after the test drive, you can visit the dealership.

Republic Ford Lincoln Mercury will be at booths 87 and 88 on Main Street during Pumpkin Daze. Test drives will depart from the parking lot of the First Baptist Church.
