Merit Ford’s Joel Mryglod, General Manager, was excited to be joined by Corey Wilson, new Service Manager, in presenting Principal of Carlyle Elementary School Tyler Fehrenbach and students of CES with a cheque on Thursday, June 15, for $3,580. This donation comes through Ford’s Drive 4UR Community initiative. Test drives were held on May 13 at CES, with every test drive Merit Ford donated $20. With 179 test drives completed, it was a great day as further funds were raised through the hot dog lunch, which Merit Ford sponsored, and the Carlyle PureChem Cougars matched any donations for the last hour of the event.
“Every year Ford holds this program across Canada and Merit Ford has never partook before, but we are under new management, so when the email came through we decided to participate.” Mryglod said.
CES is fundraising for new playground equipment: “Playground equipment is very expensive,” Fehrenbach stated. “Our SCC is going to look through some equipment and in the fall we’re going to give the kids some choice as to what they’re like to see as well and go from there, but it’s ridiculously expensive.”
