Holly High School

What: Mazda Be Moved Drive Program Event to Benefit Holly High School Athletics 
When: Friday, September 11 from 3 to 8 p.m. 
Where: Holly High School, 6161 E. Holly Road, Holly, MI 48422 
For more information visit: <a href="https://mazdabemoveddrive.com/event/holly-high-school/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://mazdabemoveddrive.com/event/holly-high-school/</a>

Details: 

Help support Holly High School Athletics through Mazda’s Be Moved Drive Program, part of Mazda’s community engagement initiative that uplifts the communities it serves and celebrates those who are inspired to move others. 

The Be Moved Drive Program is a community test drive event that brings Mazda dealerships, schools and local communities together to raise funds for programs that help students thrive while reinforcing Mazda’s commitment to helping build safer drivers and stronger communities. 

For every qualified test drive taken in a Mazda vehicle during this special one-day event, Serra Mazda Brighton will donate $50 to Holly High School Athletics, up to $10,000. Funds will help support the school’s athletic department — including transportation, updated equipment, snacks and other needs that directly benefit student-athletes. 

The event also gives participants an opportunity to experience Mazda vehicles and the brand’s approach to safety and driver confidence. Mazda was named Consumer Reports’ Safest New-Car Brand for 2026, and all tested Mazda vehicles earned 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards, more than any other brand as of July 2026. 

There is no cost to participate and everyone is welcome to attend. To complete a qualified test drive supporting the school donation, participants must be at least 18 years old, be a U.S. legal resident and have a valid U.S. driver’s license. Test drives are limited to one per qualified participant. Guests who do not drive are also encouraged to explore Mazda vehicles and learn more about the Be Moved Drive Program.
