Drive a Ford for C-M Athletic Boosters

Ames Ford Lincoln would like to help our C-M Athletic Boosters by giving us $20 for each test driver that has a valid driver's license, 18 years and older, and is from different households. They will give us a maximum of $6,000!

We need to meet our goal of having 300 people that meet the above requirements. This can include 18 year old seniors! Recruit your family and friends! No obligations, no selling anything or asking for money. Just get everyone you know to take very short test drive.

Incentives:

Grade winner with the most referrals will win a pizza party and slot of time that is determined by the school to play at the park during the school day.

Individual winner with the most referrals wins a $50 gift certificate at Logsdons.

Need your Help!

We will need parents and kids to sign up for one hour slots of time by 2018-2019 grade level. They will help fill out forms and to bring in traffic. We encourage your family and friends to come during your grade's hour that they are working to keep the traffic steady throughout the day but they can come at ANY time between 9:00AM-5:00PM.

9. Story County Conservation has just extended the application deadline for our backpacking adventure for high school students!

Any assistance you can provide in spreading the word about this opportunity is greatly appreciated.

This seven-day trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park runs June 27 – July 3 and is for those completing grades 9-12 this spring. Students will experience three nights back-country camping in what is considered the most diverse habitat in North America. It’s a trip to challenge mind, body, and spirit.
