Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation is gearing up for one of their most impactful fundraisers of the year — Drive 4 Your School, sponsored by Kerlin Ford Motors in Silver Lake.
On Friday, community members will have the opportunity to support local students simply by taking a short test drive in a Ford vehicle, according to a news release from TVSC.
For every test drive and completed survey, Ford will donate $30 to Valley schools, with the potential to raise up to $6,000 in a single day. These funds directly support student programs, academic competitions and special incentives for both students and staff.
“This fundraiser is a perfect example of how small actions can lead to big impact,” said Ashlie Schlemmer, director of communications and marketing. “This is one of the easiest ways to make a big difference.”

• Akron Elementary School: 8 to 10 a.m.
• Mentone Elementary School: 10 a.m. to noon
