is an event that is being sponsored by War Veterans for War Veterans as well as all U.S. military personnel to give them an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and fun involved with offroading. The program is in search of 4x4 Clubs around the U.S. to host an Offroad Event/Fundraiser in each of the 50 states. Missouri already had a sponsor so the Brushbeaters stepped up and offered our services for the state of Kansas and have been selected for that detail. When the event comes it will be held at
sometime in 2009. Until then, each sponsor club is also asked to host 2 fundraisers prior to the main event. We have selected July 26th for a fundraiser date and plan on a wheeling day as well as a Geo Cache hunt. For more detailed information about this event click
