Test Driving for a Cause in Innerkip

Sunday, 28 April 2013 10:55

They're trying to raise $6000 in Innerkip today for new playground equipment. The Innerkip Firefighters are putting on a breakfast, while allowing the public to visit their parking lot to test drive a Ford. Woodstock Ford has several models available to test drive, and for every test drive taken, they're donating $20 to the Innerkip Central School Playground Committee. It's in an effort to finish $60,000 worth of fundraising for two new playgrounds for the school. Principal Lisa Munro hopes the community will come out and support the cause. "We would love the Innerkip Community and the greater community at large to come out...it costs no money for you to drive a Ford, but it will certainly benefit students." As well, Innerkip's Grade 8 students are hosting a car wash at the school's parking lot, also in support of the playground. Munro says the committee has been raising funds for some time, and they're now in the process of tendering, and selecting equipment. "We have been pricing equipment for the last few weeks, and it's quite expensive. We have a very large school yard with one area for our junior-intermediate students and another area for our primary students. So we do want to be able to provide equipment for both...and we hope the equipment can be used by the greater community during off-school hours." The test drive event runs from 8AM - 2PM at the Innerkip Fire Hall.
