2014-Chrysler-Town-and-Country

“The Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids program continues to work toward enriching the educational foundation of our schools across America,” said Al Gardner, President and CEO of the Chrysler Brand. “Awarding an additional amount of $5,000 to each of the five schools that exceeded expectations at their local Drive for the Kids fundraiser is our way of thanking the school representatives and active parents, in addition to local dealerships, who all worked together to organize the fundraiser within their local communities.”

Through Drive for the Kids, participating schools received a $10 contribution from the Chrysler brand on behalf of everyone who took a brief test drive in a Chrysler Town & Country minivan — highest ranked in loyalty more than 10 years in a row — as well as additional Chrysler brand vehicles available for test drive on the day of the fundraiser, courtesy of the local dealership. Each school is at liberty to delegate their donation to their particular need.

Since 1993, when Drive for the Kids was first introduced, the Chrysler brand and its dealers have worked with parents and educators in communities across the nation, contributing millions of dollars to local schools to be put directly toward student needs. From playgrounds and field trips to reading programs and new computers, the Chrysler brand is proud of this tradition of community involvement.
