 OFF ROADING FOR OUR HEROES   (Updates)

“Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier.” (Zell Miller)

Yes, there may be snow but this event is a go!

The 4X4 Corps is very proud to present “Off Roading for Our Heroes” sponsored by Jeep.  We will be hosting 27 members of the Wounded Warrior Battalion and their families. This is a free event for all military and veterans. All proceeds will benefit Warrior Foundation.

If you love off roading and want to support our military then join us this Veterans Day weekend to celebrate our freedom with some real American Hereos.

As some of you know on May 12th 2011 one of our own club members, Joshua Hotaling, was severely injured by a devastating improvised explosive while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan. He has lost both his legs and part of his right hand. Prior to his injuries he served two Presidents on the Presidential Security Detail. His bravery and honor are without question. Because of Josh and Hero’s like him the 4X4 Corps is establishing this large off road event. We will honor and celebrate America’s veterans with a special emphasis on those who have sacrificed so much of their health and well being on behalf of our great nation. Off Roading for Our Heroes will take place in Big Bear California on Veterans Day weekend, November 11-13, 2011. We will have trail runs, raffles and entertainment and off road vender displays. Come checkout and drive the newest Wrangler and Grand Cherokee from Jeep. There will be plenty of Hero’s in attendance as well and we will be entertaining them with trail rides.


 All Active duty military and Veterans can register for free. Your coupon code is "Military." If you are active military and don't own a off road vehicle but would like to take part you may sign up to ride along. Your coupon code is "Shotgun" . Soldiers of the Wounded Warrior Battalion will be the priority and will be accommodated to best suit their needs. The trail runs  and map are now posted and available seats will be on a first come first serve bases. Registration page currently says "Individual Registration"  this is per vehicle not person. Register early for the event because pre registered vehicles get first choice.

 Some of our Warriors will be staying at the Best Western Big Bear and you can stay there as well. They are booking rooms at $84.00 a night  for people attending our event. If you would like to stay there I would reccommend booking soon this is half off their normal rate. Mention Sherri Hoffman and Off Road for Our Heroes. Booking for Best Western Big Bear. 

 We’ll base the event out of the Big Bear Convention Center . Please join the Warriors after the trails at 6:00 pm for dinner and entertainment in the convention center. Wyatt's Cafe has a full menue and bar. There will be music and raffle prises will be anounced. 

The clubs of the Adopt-A-Trail program will be assisting us to manage the trail runs and they will be selected in the near future. We also have the support of the National Forest Service, Congressman Duncan Hunter’s office, the city of Big Bear and Warrior Foundation. I believe we can make this an exceptional event and will provide a perfect opportunity for our club as well as others to celebrate Veterans Day and Jeep’s 70th anniversary with the kind of heroes who helped build the legend of Jeep. UPDATES!
