Ford of West Memphis to donate $ 8,000 to booster club

WM School District

Ford of West Memphis will team up with the West Memphis Athletic Booster Club for a unique promotion on Friday, Sept. 30.

Ford representatives will be at the parking lot at Lehr Arena for free test drives of Ford vehicles.

Ford will donate $8,000 to the booster club for 300 test drives.

Drive times are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Drivers must be 18 years old and have a valid driver's license.

Ford will bring 10 to 12 vehicles to the parking lot. Ford personnel will ride with the drivers.

Ford emphasizes it is not trying to sell cars or trucks. They are trying to promote Ford Corporate's philanthropic outreach.

In addition, the West Memphis athletic department will give a free ticket to each test driver for that night's football game. The Blue Devils will host Searcy that night (Sept. 30) for homecoming.
