There are three things we love here at Chris Leith Dodge<\/a>. In no particular order, those things are: RAM Trucks, high school football, and giving back to our community.<\/p>\n

We love RAM Trucks<\/a> because they\u2019re the best available, boasting the highest fuel economy and the highest rated towing capacity. The RAM 1500 is a back-to-back Motor Trend truck of the year for good reason, and the new EcoDiesel is coveted by many.<\/p>\n

We love high school football because on a crisp October night, there\u2019s not much better than gathering under the lights on Friday to cheer on our local teams.<\/p>\n

We love giving back to the community because all of you mean much more to us than you probably realize. You\u2019re not our customers \u2013 you\u2019re our family.<\/p>\n

\"ram<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s only fitting then that Chris Leith Dodge<\/a> is sponsoring the RAM Gridiron Challenge Fundraiser this Friday, October 10, at Rolesville High School, home of the RAMs. Between 3:00 and 7:00 in the afternoon, our sales staff will be on hand with the award-winning RAM 1500 to offer test-drives to everyone in the community. There\u2019s no purchase necessary, and for every test-drive completed, RAM Trucks is donating twenty dollars to Rolesville High School\u2019s football program, up to five thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

The goal for Friday is to do two hundred and fifty test-drives before kickoff, and as added incentive, the class that brings in the most participants will be awarded an additional five hundred dollars. There\u2019s more than just test-driving fun to be had, too. The team mascot Rambo the ram will be there at 3:00 for photo opportunities, and the school is hosting a huge tailgate before the game at 5:00 p.m. Food and drink will be available from the booster club, but feel free to bring your own dinner.<\/p>\n

For more details, we\u2019ve shared the official press release for the RAM Gridiron Challenge below.<\/p>\n

We could not be more thrilled to be part of this event and part of your community. We hope to see you Friday night. Go RAMS!<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with CHRIS LEITH DODGE RAM, we are challenging our families and fans to help us raise up to $5,000 in one day,\u201d said ERICKA LUCAS, PRINCIPAL. \u201cThis is a great opportunity for our fans to lend their support without reaching into their own pockets. We are hoping everyone stops by the Ram Truck tent and takes a few minutes to drive for the ROLESVILL RAMS FOOTBALL TEAM.\u201d The whole community is invited to come out and join us at the Varsity home football game day continued Coach Tommy Moore, Athletic director. \u201cTake a short test drive in the Ram Truck of your choice, and help the Rolesville Ram Team.\u201d<\/p>\n
