04/20/11 On May 5, 2011, representatives from Chrysler and Country Auto will join with parents and teachers for a Drive for the Kids™ fundraiser in support of Riverside Intermediate School. 

During Riverside’s Student Showcase, parents and guests can earn a $10 contribution for the school from Chrysler by taking a brief test drive in the company’s award winning minivan, the Chrysler Town & Country.  Everyone is invited to join the fun.  Any licensed driver, age 18 or over, may drive and earn $10 for Riverside Intermediate School.  Chrysler Town & Country will provide minivans and insurance for the event, and volunteers from the dealership will be on hand to help out with the fundraising test drives.   Driving times are from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. 

      “STUDENT SHOWCASE” will be fun for the whole family,” said Jeni Hirschy “and we are pleased to have this opportunity from Chrysler to push our fundraising goal over the top!  Planned activities include:  family dinner/social, viewing of student projects and displays, and school fundraiser.

In 1993, Chrysler introduced Drive for the Kids™ and became the first automotive manufacturer to directly support schools in the communities where the company does business.   Since then, dealers like Chrysler Town & Country here in Plymouth have worked with parents in communities across the country, and Chrysler has contributed over $3.5 million to local schools.
