The Auburn Mountainview Booster Club, in partnership with Scarff Ford of Auburn, will present “Drive One 4UR School” – a test-driving opportunity for those who want to check out the various models and aid student programs at the high school.

Test drives will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Auburn Mountainview High School, 28900 124th Ave. SE. The booster club will receive $20 from Scarff Ford and the Ford Motor Co. for each test drive taken.

Drivers, 18 years and older and one driver per family, are welcome to test-drive any one of eight Ford models and help raise much-needed funding for the school.

The day will include a raffle drawing among participants for the opportunity to win school spirit wear and Ford memorabilia. A community barbecue with free-will donations to support the Lions lacrosse team will be held from noon to 2 p.m., or while supplies last.

Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis and Auburn School Board president Janice Nelson will conduct a brief “meet and greet” during the barbecue. A Ford Motor Co. executive from Dearborn, Mich., as well as the Ford Northwest Regional manager, are scheduled to attend.
