Default Go Topless for a Warrior - Cruise to the Flight 93 Memorial - May 14th

The folks at Just Jeepin (www.justjeepin.org) are pulling together a go topless ride to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. They are starting from different points in western Pennsylvania (Altoona, Butler, Brookville, Pittsburgh, Indiana) and cruising to the Flight 93 Memorial near Stoystown PA. They have assembled a great bunch of sponsors for this event. The participation fee is $5 per Jeep and every Jeep participating is eligible to win a 9500 lb Rough Country Winch.

This should be a fun day and a great opportunity to support a good cause the Wounded Warrior Project. Keep an eye on the Just Jeepin website for more details and sign up on the RSVP page if you plan on attending.

Just Jeepin is spending Go Topless Day (May 14) raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project.

We will be cruising to the Flight 93 Memorial from various points (see starting points below). We're asking each jeep to make a $5 donation. We'll be holding a 50/50 and raffling some really nice prizes. All money collected will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.

All Jeeps registered for the ride will be entered in a drawing for a Rough Country 9500 lb winch.

We hope to see a lot of jeeps turn out to support a great cause and go topless!

We're adding more sponsors and prizes each day. We've got something for everyone, so bring the kiddies along and make it a family event.
