CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Sames Ford is giving high-school students with perfect attendance a chance at a new car.
Anyone attending a CCISD high school or London ISD high school is eligible to win.
Many students end up having to walk to school, and so Drive Sames for Education was started with the aim of helping make sure students have a way of getting to the classroom to learn.
"We try to give back because we know these types of things are important,” said Sames Ford General Manager Ryan Cain. “Education is important. Making sure we have great leaders in our community -- keep our community going strong."
The program will reward one lucky student with a brand-new Ford Bronco Sport in May.
