Test drivers needed for Northeast Community Center fundraiser

Thu., April 30, 2015

The Northeast Community Center is seeking test drivers who want to participate in a fundraiser on Wednesday for the Northeast Community Center.

Ford Motor Co. is bringing new vehicles to Witter Pool from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and giving drivers a chance to go for a spin. For each driver, the community center will receive $20. Up to 160 drivers can be accommodated.

Drivers must be 18 and have a valid license. There will be no sales pitches, but the automaker will be seeking marketing surveys from drivers.
