About Drive For Schools
Drive for Schools, founded in 2005 by Subaru of Santa Cruz and now sponsored by the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Subaru of Santa Cruz and Toyota of Santa Cruz, successfully raised over $700,000 in 2018 for local schools and more than $6.1 million total since 2005.
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 e-mail Jody Turner driveforschools@yahoo.com by July 12, 2019, 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 11, 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 20. The drawing will be held at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on Sunday, October 27, 2019.
As you plan for the 2019-2020 school year, we hope your school will participate in the 2019 Drive For Schools!
