Ford Donates $6,000 to MHS Football Team, Band

Ford Motor Company and Sentry Ford Lincoln Mercury of Medford generously donated $6,000 to the MHS Band and Football Team.

At the first home game on September 24, dozens of community members test drove Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles for Ford’s Drive One 4 UR School program. Ford donated $20 per test drive. Dozens of community members came out to support the band and football programs, which helped raise money for the Mustangs.

A special thank you goes to Brian McGrath and Helena Doyle of Sentry Auto Group for coordinating this event and assuring the band and football team garnered the maximum benefit that was available.
