Holiday Ford Lincoln in Austin brought in a lot of green for Pacelli.

The car dealer, in conjunction with Lincoln’s Drive Smart For Your School, raised about $5,000 on Aug. 25 for Pacelli extra curricular activities, according to the dealership’s owner, Nathan Toland. The event, which drew about 250 people, gave locals a chance to test drive a Lincoln for a $20 donation to Pacelli.

“It gave people the opportunity to have a little fun, test drive a car they normally wouldn’t, spend time with friends and family and earn some money for their school,” Toland said.
