DRIVE ONE 4 UR SCHOOL

The Drive 4 UR School event, sponsored by Sakelaris Ford, has become much more than a fundraiser for the FIRST® LASER programs. Sakelaris proudly supported LASER by hosting a full day Drive ONE 4 UR School event. At this event, community members were invited to test drive Ford vehicles. Sakelaris and Mid-West Ford donated $20 per valid test drive, up to $6,000 to the LASER program. In addition, Mid-West Ford hosted a Facebook voting competition to double the donation. LASER was fortunate enough to win the bonus competition! Thank you Sakelaris and Mid-West Ford! Additionally, LASER was able to showcase all four progressions of FIRST® for the entire community!
