FAIRFIELD, IOWA -- Ford and Fesler Auto Mall in Fairfield, Iowa are once again teaming up to raise money for a local high school.

On Saturday, August 25, Fesler Auto Mall will be hosting a "Drive one for your school" event at Fairfield High School.

For every test drive, Ford and Fesler Auto Mall will donate $20, and up to $6,000 to the activities department at Fairfield High School.

Brian Starnes with Fesler Auto Mall told KTVO on Wednesday that no cars are allowed to be sold that day, therefore there is no pressure for the driver to participate.

"Some people are a little apprehensive to show up because they think they are going to be inundated with phone calls and e-mails, trying to get you to buy something; we aren't actually going to sell one car that day. Ford is very particular, it is not a selling event. It is an opportunity for people to come and see the advances of safety, technology and design of the new Ford products, and the donation goes toward a good cause.

Starnes says that if and when they reach their goal on Saturday, he will allow a certified tazing instructor to taze him at the dealership following the fundraiser.

The "Drive one for your school" event is from 8 to 1 at Fairfield High School.
