Innovative test-drive event will yield much-needed money for a new refrigeration plant
Koch Ford is bringing Edmonton’s first Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited’s innovative Drive One 4 UR Community event to Edmonton in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for the Crestwood Curling Club. For every person who test-drives a Ford vehicle at the club on Sunday, February 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Koch Ford and Ford of Canada will donate $20 to the curling club. The funds will go towards the purchase of a much-needed refrigeration plant for the club’s rink.
“This is program is about creating a partnership with our community and with our friends,” said Brad Burgeson, new car sales manager at Koch Ford. “We are grateful to have the opportunity to make a difference to the Crestwood Curling Club and to get involved with the community in a different part of the city.”
“The Crestwood Curling Club is fortunate to have a company like Koch Ford to help us raise funds to replace our aging refrigeration plant,” said Darcy Hyde, general manager at Crestwood Curling Club. “Our facility is 58 years old and is in need of several repairs. I know the 1000-plus members who use it every week will appreciate the support.”
On Sunday, a hotshots event will be held at the curling club, with approximately 30 curlers battling it out making different shots for prizes and bragging rights. The club’s lounge will also be open to the public.
Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School and Community programs in 2010, more than 25,000 test-drives at more than 160 events have generated over $460,000 in donations for high schools and organizations in Canada.
To participate, please visit the Crestwood Curling Club at 14317-96 Ave NW, between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on February 12.
Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household.
