GROVETOWN, GA – Milton Ruben Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram presented a $780 check to Bakers Place Elementary as a donation from Chrysler brand’s Drive for the Kids® program this morning. The fundraising event was held on Saturday, May 3, 2014, in conjunction with the school’s Spring Carnival.

“We were excited to get involved with Drive for the Kids® because it gives us a chance to give back to the community,” said David Percival, Milton Ruben Chrysler Sales Manager. “We’ve really been making an effort this year to participate more in local events. Plus, it gave Augusta area parents a chance to test out our minivan. A lot of them were surprised it has so much power.”
Participants earned a $10 contribution to the school on their behalf from the Chrysler brand by taking a brief test drive in a 2014 model Town & Country minivan – highest ranked in loyalty 12 years in a row – as well as a 2014 Chrysler 300, both made available for test drives thanks to Milton Ruben Chrysler.
At the conclusion of the 2014 program, the school with the highest number of test drives in each one of the five geographic regions (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Central, and West) will win an additional $5,000, for a total of $25,000 in additional funding from Chrysler through the Drive for the Kids® program.
Since 1993, when Chrysler introduced Drive for the Kids®, Chrysler dealers have worked with parents and educators in communities across the nation. Chrysler has contributed over $5 million directly to local schools for student needs, from playgrounds and field trips, to reading programs and new computers. Chrysler is proud of this tradition of community involvement.
Milton Ruben’s continued community efforts include their February involvement in Soles 4 Souls, a shoe drive for the needy; #LoveAugusta, a social media project highlighting the beauty of Augusta, GA; and their ongoing Drive Baby™ Contest, the search to identify a face of Milton Ruben.
