Who Wants to win a Jeep or a Harley?
Jeeps vs. Harleys 2018
On behalf of the Florida Jeep Clubs Association, we cordially invite you to our event, Jeeps vs. Harleys. This event has grown into a fun family event for charities and continues to grow each year. We originally started this to bring two American Icons (Jeeps vs. Mustangs), hobbyists, and enthusiasts together for a friendly competition.
Last year we produced Jeeps vs. Harleys and with three months to plan, we had successfully brought Jeepers and Harley owners from all over the state for this one-day event in excess of 1,200+ attendees. We had 360+ Jeeps, 180+ Harleys attend the police escorted non-stop convoy from Brandon, Florida to Pasco Sheriff’s Safety Town in Hudson, Florida. The success of the first event garnered $16,000 and 100% of the proceeds went to two amazing charities; COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors) and the Farrell Cares Foundation both 501c3 organizations.
This year’s proceeds will be distributed to mainly 501c3 charities, local charities, churches, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and rehabilitated programs across west central Florida. All 100% of the proceeds from this Grand Prize will go to the west-central chapter of C.O.P.S. in Tampa, FL. This charity has done so much for these survivors from offering the families, children therapy, scholarships, and grief counseling to sending the survivors to a camp with other survivors from around the country. Helping them put their lives back together.
