Sauers Ford of Michigan City Hosts Drive 4 UR School

MarquetteSauers2Drivers eager to support Marquette Catholic High School Athletics were roaring and ready to go with the help of Sauers Ford in Michigan City! Sauers Ford and the school came together to host a Ford Drive 4 UR School event, an engaging program created as an easy and fun way for schools to make money!

Drivers that came out had the opportunity to test drive any of the several Ford models Sauers graciously provided for the day, with the highlight being the gorgeous driving route that took them right along Lake Michigan. Sauers then generously donated $20 for every test drive that took place.

Danielle Haydell, Development Director at Marquette Catholic High School, could not have been more excited and grateful for the fantastic opportunity for her school.

MarquetteSauers1"It's so nice because it's such a quick and easy way for us to raise a good amount of money for our school," Haydell said, "It's all going back to our athletics program, and being a small school in a small community it can be very challenging to continue asking people for money. This is a nice way for people to spend a short 15 minutes of their time and really help us out."

Socrates Gray, General Sales Manager for Sauers Ford of Michigan City, was equally as excited to be a part of another Drive 4 UR School event. A few months ago, Sauers was able to raise close to $6000 for a Michigan City elementary school with a Lincoln driving event, and Gray was thrilled to help another great school like Marquette.

"I've been in the car business the last 27 years, and with Ford participating in this program for the past 6-7 years, I've gotten to be involved in quite a few of these," Gray said, "With the economy being so tough the past few years, I think it's a great thing Ford is doing to help schools earn easy money, and it's great that Sauers has been able to be involved as well."

MarquetteSauers5With two fantastic locations in La Porte County, Sauers is making a fantastic mark on the community.

"At Sauers, you can always expect us to be fair and friendly. We're very upfront and never would hide anything, and that's the number one thing I believe that sets us apart!" Gray enthused, "We're straightforward with everyone. That's the beauty of it."

Thank you, Sauers Auto, for your generosity and dedication to the well being of our students and schools!
