Volkswagen Drive Bigger
You've seen the Volkswagen Drive Bigger commercials.   And perhaps you've even thought - ah, cool concept.

But check this out.  Volkswagen of America is donating money to public schools.  And YOU can make sure your kid's class gets some!  No kidding, no strings attached and no games!
"The average public school teacher across the country dips into their own personal pocket to the tune of $450 annually to fund supplies for various school projects. That's crazy!"
In fact, my friend Randy Halcomb from Ontario VW filled me in on something even cooler.  Your kid's teacher can go online to set-up the funding request and then you can go fund it for free!

Hear all the details in my podcast interview with Randy or continue reading below.  Either way, go to Ontario Volkswagen ASAP to get the money where you want it to go!

How To Put Volkswagen's Drive Bigger $$$ In Your Kid's Classroom!
Tom: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States, Southern California. Tom Smith here, and I'm at Ontario Volkswagen today with my good friend Randy Halcomb.

We're talking about the Volkswagen Drive Bigger Event, which ties into the Volkswagen commercial that you probably saw. I want to give Randy a chance to just say hello real quick.

This topic has me fired up a little bit because it's all about our schools, our public schools, and Volkswagen's diving in to fund our public schools. But say hello real quick Randy, and then I'm going to rattle off some stuff here.

Randy: Tom, always a pleasure to be here.
VW Drive Bigger Event Aims to Help Public School Teachers
Tom: Thank you. The Drive Bigger Event is Volkswagen's way of really diving in to help our public schools. I don't know if you're like me, but I know teachers of public schools.

I've always heard that obviously, they're always working on contracts, they're always trying to get paid themselves. But what's outrageous, and this - a statistic. This is outrageous.

At Ontario Volkswagen Donating To Your Kid's Classroom is FREE!

The average public school teacher across the country dips into their own personal pocket to the tune of $450 annually to fund supplies for various school projects. That's crazy!

Randy: I think that number is probably low.

Tom: I think it's low too. That's an average. That's what we know. Right? That's what's reported. Certainly, the reporting is probably inaccurate.

The Drive Bigger Event is technically Volkswagen of America is partnering up with their local dealers, Ontario Volkswagen, and providing funds for our public schools.
DonorsChoose Partnership with Volkswagen Drive Bigger
They're doing it in such a way that my friends that are teachers, your friends that are teachers, Randy's friends that are teachers, can tell their friends to go into Ontario Volkswagen and help direct where that money goes.

Randy: That is correct, Tom. It's pretty neat, and I think one of the things that Volkswagen's trying to do here is really to give back to the community doing more than just selling vehicles, and helping out, and making a difference in our communities, and on our planet.

Tom: But this is a partnership with an organization called DonorsChoose.
