Celebrity chef Richard Blais will help raise money for Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome by hosting a charity event June 11 at Peachtree Corners.

Blais will partner with Ford as part of the “Drive with Purpose” nationwide tour that will feature test drives of the 2012 Ford Focus. The tour will also pass through Charlotte, Miami and Orlando.

Each test drive on the tour will result in a $2 donation to Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome. The city with the highest attendance and number of test drives will receive a $25,000 prize from Ford for their charity.
