Test Drive a Ford Today

Royal Oak High School partners with Royal Oak Ford again on Saturday, Sept. 7 in the hopes of raising another $6,000 when Drive One 4 UR School returns to the high school.

How It Works

For every test-driver, Ford will make a $20 donation to the school, up to $6,000. Any licensed driver 18 or older may test-drive a new vehicle at the high school from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. No appointment is necessary.

The school needs 300 drivers to earn the maximum donation of $6,000.
