Fair Oaks Ford Lincoln and 360 Youth Services are partnering on Saturday, July 15th 2017 for Lincoln’s Driven to Give event that will take place at Yellow Box Church (1635 Emerson Lane, Naperville, IL). At this valuable event, members of the Naperville community can support 360 Youth Services simply by taking a test-drive in any eligible Lincoln vehicle. For every test-drive taken, Lincoln will donate $20 to 360 Youth Services. An additional $20 can be raised for every participant that takes a second test-drive in the 2017 Lincoln Continental. In total, the community can help raise up to $8,000 for the 360 Youth Services, an amount that will prove to be beneficial to their mission, which is to change lives and inspire hope with young people.
