A fundraising event at Richmond Hill High School raised $5,750 for the school’s athletics program, helping provide additional support for equipment, resources, and other athletic needs.

The fundraiser was held March 26 through Mazda’s “Be Moved Drive Program,” which allows schools to raise money when community members participate in vehicle test drives. For each qualified test drive completed during the event, $50 was donated to the school.

By the end of the day, organizers recorded 115 test drives, generating $5,750 toward the school’s athletics fund. The program allows schools to raise up to $10,000 through the event.

“This event is more than just a fundraiser, it’s an investment in our student-athletes," said Stacy Bennett, Richmond Hill High School Athletic Director. "Every test drive at the Mazda Be Moved Drive Program event helps provide the resources, equipment, and opportunities Richmond Hill Athletics needs to continue building champions both on and off the field.”

The Be Moved Drive Program was hosted by J.C. Lewis Mazda in Savannah to uplift and inspire students.

"J.C. Lewis Mazda is proud to partner with Richmond Hill High School through Mazda's Be Moved Drive Program,” said Joe Lewis, J.C. Lewis Mazda General Manager. “Supporting our local schools and the students who are shaping our community is an important part of who we are at J.C. Lewis, and we're honored to be a part of an event that celebrates Richmond Hill High School and the bright futures its students represent."
