If you have ever wanted to get behind the wheel and feel the power of a Ford Mustang or see what it's like to drive a Ford F-150 truck, you will have your chance when Trillium Ford in Shelburne hosts a test drive event.

Trillium Ford Shelburne is inviting the community to get behind the wheel for a great cause during its Drive 4UR Community fundraising event at the dealership on July 18.

For every eligible test drive completed, Ford of Canada will donate $30, up to a maximum of $6,000, to Shelburne Legion Branch 220.

Funds raised will help support the installation of an accessible walkway at the Legion's main entrance. This will improve accessibility for Veterans, Legion members, and visitors.

“Our dealership has always believed in supporting the communities we serve,” said Len Rice, owner and managing partner of Shelburne Trillium Ford. “Drive 4UR Community is a simple way for residents to make a meaningful impact. A quick test drive can help create a more accessible and welcoming space at our local Legion.”

The event will offer something for everyone who appreciates Ford vehicles. Guests will have the opportunity to test drive a variety of the latest Ford vehicles, including the Ford Maverick, Mustang, F-150, Ranger, Explorer, and more.

In addition to the test drives, visitors can enjoy a charity barbecue, live local music, a family-friendly atmosphere, and opportunities to support a meaningful community project.

Community members are encouraged to pre-register online or simply stop by the dealership during event hours. While pre-registration is appreciated, walk-ins are welcome.

The Trillium Ford Shelburne Drive 4UR community event will take place at the dealership at 506168 Highway 89, just East of Shelburne, on Saturday, July 18.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
