Test Drive a Car for Mom - Fight Breast Cancer

Posted by JeanneSager

If the family car is sputtering, now may be a better time than you think to go price out a new one. And, no, this is not a "let's drive the economy" speech.

Ford has teamed up with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the company will be putting $20 toward the breast cancer fight for every test drive taken by families between now and June 1 (up to $1 million).

That's it. You don't have to buy one (although, of course, they want you to!). You just have to take the kids down to the dealership, strap them in the back and see how Ford fares at turning out family cars.

If nothing else, do it honor of Mom this Mother's Day - statistically, the chances she will end up with breast cancer are one in eight (higher if another member of the family has it). Find out what you have to do here and get driving.
