LACONIA — Irwin Ford Lincoln is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program to Laconia in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Laconia High School.

For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle at the High School on Thursday, April 19, Irwin Ford Lincoln and Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the High School. Proceeds from this event will benefit the school’s Drama Club. Drive One participants will receive one free ticket to the April 19 performance of Once Upon a Mattress.

"We are thrilled to be bringing Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program back to Laconia High School," says Chris Irwin, Vice President, Irwin Ford Lincoln. "It truly is an honor to give back to our community and promote extracurricular activities. We hope this event is even bigger than the last to benefit the school’s drama program."

"Laconia High School appreciates our community partnership with Irwin Ford Lincoln and their support of our performing arts," says Principal Steve Beals. "Following a very successful benefit for our music program in the fall, we look forward to having the support for our dedicated Drama Club and wish them well in their upcoming Spring Musical, Once Upon a Mattress."

The Drive One 4UR School event will feature many fuel efficient vehicles from Ford’s line-up like the Focus and Fiesta.
