Ferguson Buick GMC makes 'Buick Drive For Your Students' donation to Coweta High School

For the fourth year in a row, Ferguson Buick GMC has made a concerted effort to help local schools in our community by raising funds through the Buick's 'Drive For Your Students' fundraising event. 

The Buick Drive for Your Students is a test drive initiative that pairs Buick dealerships with local high schools.

Ferguson Buick GMC Helps Raise over $4,600 for Local Tulsa Area High School

Many schools across the country have faced increasing budget cuts. These budget cuts have affected schools' extracurricular activities and sports programs. As an integral part of the community, Ferguson Buick GMC has set out to help raise funds for a local Tulsa area school. For the second year in a row, Ferguson Buick GMC partnered with Coweta High School, in Coweta, Oklahoma. 

Ferguson Buick GMC held another successful "Buick Drive For Your Students" event at Coweta High School. During Buick's "Drive For Your Students" event, Buick dealerships across the country are given the opportunity to team up with a public high school to host a one day test drive event to raise money for their school. 

This year, similar to last year, we set up our test drive event in the front of Coweta High School. We brought over half a dozen new Buick and new GMC models for participants to take test drives in. We brought the new 2016 Buick Enclave, the 2016 Buick LaCrosse, along with the 2016 GMC Acadia and the ever-popular 2015 GMC Sierra pickup. 

The Buick Drive For Your Student event works like this: for every person who comes and takes a test drive, Buick donates $10 to the school. If the event exceeds 100 test drives, Buick will double their donation to $20 per valid test drive. As an extra bonus, each participant that chooses to receive communication from GM will be eligible for the GM Educator’s Discount. Our goal, this year, was to raise $10,000 for Coweta High School! 

We didn't quite reach our goal, but thanks to everyone who came out and took a test drive, we were able to raise $4,660!

We're honored to have the opportunity to raise money for the students, teachers, and parents of Coweta High School! Coweta High School is in the process of completing many renovation projects. The school is building a new band facility, new wrestling room, and making changes to the football stadium. We feel the money raised during the Buick Test Drive For Your Students will be put to good use at Coweta High! 

FERGUSON BUICK GMC WOULD LIKE TO THANK
COWETA HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPLE, GARY ELLIS, & EVERYBODY WHO PARTICIPATED IN A TEST DRIVE IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS DONATION POSSIBLE!
