Miscellaneous: Team Overland Donation

5/10/2017

0 Comments

 
Our modified Toyota FJ Cruiser was totaled earlier this year after a roll over during a freak snow storm in Oregon. We managed to take off some of the aftermarket parts before handing her over to the insurance company. Some of those parts that we removed, we decided to auction off, with all proceeds going to Team Overland. We wanted to give back to those who have given so much for us.

If you are not familiar with Team Overland, they are a nonprofit organization that is committed to helping veterans. They have provided an outlet for past and present American soldiers suffering from PTSD and other challenges caused by combat. Through the use of the great American outdoors, they take veterans out on overland style trips, allowing them to see and experience the beauty and freedom they have fought so hard to protect. Team Overland is an organization built by veterans for veterans.

In support of Team Overland, with the assistance of the Lone Star Toyota Jamboree off road event and several supporting vendors in the off road community, we posted our Scheel-mann after market seats and our PAX Mount system for auction.

At the completion of the auction, Colin paid $1,000 for the seats and Kym paid $250 for the PAX Mount and accessories. Because of their support and the effort of several vendors, I am exited to announce, we raised $1,250 for charity. We're not a fan of odd, uneven numbers like that, so we have decided to throw another $250 on top of that for a total donation of $1,500 to Team Overland!

Thank you to all the brave men and women who have served past, present, and future and thank you to all the organizations who help them. To those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, may you rest easy knowing you will not be forgotten.
