Noble All-American Ford to donate as much as $6,000 for PCM High School

MONROE — Ford Motor Company and Noble All-American are partnering to help raise money in support of PCM High School as part of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program.

Community members will have the opportunity to raise up to $6,000 for PCM High School by test driving a Ford vehicle at PCM High School from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16. For every person from a unique household who test drives a 2011 Taurus, Fusion Hybrid or Sport, Fiesta, Mustang or other Ford vehicle, Noble All-American will donate $20 to PCM High School.

“This is a fun and simple way for community members to show their support and help raise money for PCM High School while taking a drive in our latest vehicles,” said Tim Kline of Noble All-American. “We are proud to partner with the school in the Drive One 4 UR School program again and look forward to this opportunity to support our young people.”

Since the start of Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in 2007, more than 173,000 people have helped raise more than $3.3 million for nearly 1,000 high schools across the country. Locally, Noble All-American has participated in Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program for a year and raised over $3,000 for PCM High School.

In addition to raising much-needed revenue for high school extracurricular activities, Ford Motor Company’s Drive One 4 UR School program also gives participants the chance to take a look at Ford and Lincoln Mercury’s new cars and safety technologies, including:

• MyKey™, a system that allows parents to limit a vehicle’s top speed and audio volume to encourage safe driving behavior in teens;

• SYNC®, the fully integrated, in-vehicle voice-activated communications and entertainment system with 911 Assist™, Vehicle Health Report and GPS-based features including business search and call completion;

• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™) with Cross Traffic Alert, which uses radar to check the blind spot and helps notify the driver of approaching traffic when backing out of a parking spot; and,

• Active Park Assist, a technology that helps drivers position the vehicle for parallel parking and then steer it into a parking spot without touching the steering wheel.
