  • Northeast Region: The Bishop’s Academy of Most Holy Rosary of Syracuse, NY
  • Southeast Region: Four Oaks Elementary of Four Oaks, NC

“The Chrysler brand is committed to enriching the lives of youth across America,” said Saad Chehab , President and CEO – Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Awarding $5,000 to each of the five schools that exceeded expectations for community participation at their local Drive for the Kids event is our way of rewarding sincere efforts made by the community to show support for further educating local students and raising funds that will help to sustain important educational programs.”

Through Drive for the Kids, participating schools received a $10 contribution from Chrysler brand on behalf of everyone who took a brief test drive in a Town & Country minivan—highest ranked in loyalty 11 years in a row—or another Chrysler brand vehicle that was available for test drive on the day of the test drive event.

Since 1993, when Drive for the Kids was first introduced, the Chrysler brand and its dealers have worked with parents and educators in communities across the nation contributing more than $4 million directly to local schools for student needs. From playgrounds and field trips to reading programs and new computers, the Chrysler brand is proud of this tradition of community involvement.
