The 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association fell just short of its goal of 300 test drives for the Ford of Canada Drive 4UR Community fundraiser on June 1. Had they reached their goal, Sunrise Ford of 100 Mile would have matched Ford of Canada’s $6,000 contribution.

The 100 Mile House & District Soccer Association held its biggest fundraiser of the year – Drive 4 UR Community, on June 1. While it raised approximately $5,100 for the club, the total is disappointingly short of what was possible, says Werner Heine, association sponsorship and communications director. Ford of Canada donated $20 for every person who test drove
a Ford at the six-hour long event, which took place in the Save-OnFoods parking lot. There were approximately 255 test drives made, but if the golden number of 300 had been reached, Sunrise Ford owner Leon Chretien would have kicked in a matching $6,000 donation, for a total $12,000 for the association. “Our hearts were broken when we didn’t reach that goal,” says Heine. He adds support from the general public was good, but the club
