Cars 4 Classrooms – An Easy School Fundraising Idea
Did you know that there is a program called the “Chrysler Cars 4 Classrooms fundraising initiative”?
How does this work? Actually, it is pretty simple. Chrysler will pay your school $10 for every person you refer to their nearest dealership to take a test drive of a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram vehicle. That is exactly what this middle school did.
The Loftis Middle School of Tennessee contacted the Crown Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership and came to an agreement that the car dealership would pay the school $10 for every person that came in to test drive a new vehicle. All together, the school referred 60 people to the car dealership. At the end of the school’s fundraising program, Chrysler gladly wrote them a check for $600.
Why would a car dealer help your school raise money?
Car dealers spend many thousands of dollars each month in advertising online, on radio, on TV, and in print, with the HOPE of someone walking into their showroom. When you hand deliver potential customers to them, it is a win-win program for the car sales team and the middle school. The dealer knows that for every 10 people that are referred to them, they will close a deal to sell a car or two.
Will this fundraising program work for your school?
You don’t have to live in Tennessee to take advantage of this program. In fact, it is available in every state. Your school can earn up to $2,000 with this car sales event.
