4WD Donations to Off-Road Causes and Events Heat Up This Summer
Columbiana, OH (PRWEB) July 18, 2013 -- 4WD, industry-leading provider of aftermarket parts and accessories for Jeeps, is stepping up its summertime charitable donations to various causes, clubs, and 4x4 events. Jamborees and trail rides offer contributions as prizes and put funds toward vital causes like cancer research and individuals with medical conditions.
“Our sponsoring activities give us a great opportunity to get involved and give back to the Jeep community in a big way,” says Kelly Young, 4WD Internet Manager. “Whether the cause is related to curing a specific illness or an individual’s medical condition or a fun Jeeping event, we recognize that contributions of all sorts and sizes count.”
Kelly is the founder of The Crawl to Cure Cancer, a Jeep crawl event that travels across the United States to Jeep-related treks and shows to raise money for cancer research. Young created The Crawl after she lost her mother to a brief battle with colon and liver cancer in 2008. 4WD is a major contributor and annual events where donations are raised include the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival, and the 4 Wheel Drive Hardware Jamboree in September.
Amelia’s Angels is a trail ride to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation held by Big Rubbers 4x4 in Pennsylvania. Amelia Dunbar’s father Ryan organized the event after she was born with the DF508 mutation of cystic fibrosis. “4WD has been a supporting vendor for Amelia’s Angels Trail Ride since our first ride last year,” says Dunbar. “They’ve donated items like a winch and gift certificates and have given our ride great support.”
4WD is also donating a Smittybilt XRC8 winch as a giveaway for the upcoming July 21-28 FMCA 4 Wheelers Rally in Lander, Wyoming. “We’ve told several people about the winch and they are happy and very surprised at 4WD’s generosity,” says Sandi Powers of FMCA 4 Wheelers. “The FMCA 4 Wheelers are a great club and we’ve grown a lot in the past two years. 4WD’s donation gives us depth and support.”
