For over 50 years, family-owned Borgman Ford Mazda’s team has strived to provide the best customer service possible for its many loyal customers and to support causes that benefit the community near its location. With its involvement in the upcoming promotion “Drive One 4 UR School,” this means literally taking that commitment to the streets.
Today, we talked with Sales Manager Brandon Funk about outfitting the band members at Grandville High School, as well as other causes this dealership supports in the West Michigan area.
Please help the Grandville Bulldogs keep up the music! The band boosters are calling all drivers to attend its Fall Harvest Fest on Saturday, Oct. 15, 8 a.m. – 3 p.m., where the school can earn up to $6,000 if people test drive a Ford!
Borgman Ford has partnered with the Bulldog’s Band Boosters through Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program in an effort to raise money urgently needed to enable an upcoming trip to nationals the second week in November, according to Booster Barb Brown. She needs 300 test drivers to reach her goal — because Borgman is donating $20 a drive. It’s a great way to check out Ford’s award winning lineup of vehicles. It’s also being held during the schools Fall Harvest Fest that features craft booths with great gifts and decorations, Grandville “Dawg” Wear, band swag and refreshments.
The Drive One 4 UR School program was developed as a fun, engaging way to help high schools raise money to support their sports programs and extracurricular activities. Ford and Lincoln dealerships partner with a local high school to conduct a test drive fundraising event. For every valid test drive completed, Ford Motor Company will donate $20 to the participating high school, up to $6,000.
“We’ve always believed in our community and the best way to demonstrate that is to support it in every way we can, starting with kids,” said Brandon Funk of Borgman Ford Mazda.

Drive One 4 UR School has had great success since its inception in 2007, with thousands of test drives and dollars generated for schools through the program.
