It’s been less than a year since a tornado ripped through Western Massachusetts, damaging everything in its path.

Among the many homes, buildings, shops and stores in that path was Cathedral High School in Springfield, Mass. While the private school continues to raise funds to repair the severely damaged building, its students and Ford have teamed up to offer the CHS community a chance at winning $10,000 through the “Drive One 4 UR School” March Madness-style bracket.

The Cathedral High School hockey team was invited by the Boston Red Sox to play Mount Saint Charles (Rhode Island) at Fenway Park this past winter to help raise funds for the school’s athletic department, which lost nearly everything.
