This year, the grand prize winner will have their choice of a brand new Toyota Prius C or Subaru Crosstrek including tax, title, and license. And, if the winner isn't in the market for a new car, we'll award them $25,000 in cash instead. We will also be giving away ten $1,000 cash prizes, plus over 100 additional prizes!

All elementary, middle and high schools in Santa Cruz County are invited to participate at absolutely NO COST. We will provide the prizes, we print the tickets, we produce promotional materials and your school sells the $5 tickets and keeps every single penny it raises. Since each school has their own personality, you can handle the selling of the tickets to match your school's individual needs.

To participate, please email Jody Turner at driveforschools@yahoo.com by July 13, 2018, with the school name, principal's name, summer e-mail address, and phone number. Each school needs to designate one contact person to attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, September 12, at 7pm at Toyota of Santa Cruz in Capitola. This person will serve as your school's liaison with the DRIVE FOR SCHOOLS program coordinator, Jody Turner. Jody can also be reached at (831)462-4200.

All necessary details will be covered at the September 12 informational meeting. Tickets will be distributed at this meeting and selling can start immediately and continue until Sunday, October 21. The drawing will be held at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on Sunday, October 28, 2018.

As you plan for the 2018-2019 school year, we hope your school will participate in the 2018 DRIVE FOR SCHOOLS!
