Driver Travis Carpenter asks people to “Pledge per mile made”

For the second year in a row, Rock Zombie 4×4 club member Travis Carpenter of the 4405 “land-use” team is racing in the famed King of the Hammers off-road race on February 11th to generate funds for land-use. Held by HammerKing Productions (www.kingofthehammers.com) and billed as the toughest off-road competition in the United States, the King of the Hammers is a mix of desert racing and hardcore rock crawling. The grueling 120 mile long course is split into two laps, and many competitors are not even able to finish the race. In only its 5th year, attendance at the race is expected to draw well over 30,000 people to the southern California desert.

The 4405 “Land-use” team is asking people to make a “Pledge per mile made” by Travis Carpenter to the Blue Ribbon Coalition. Individuals and companies may make a pledge at www.sharetrails.org/4405.  The amount of the final donations will depend on how far Travis is able to travel in the event. A flat rate may also be pledged. Read More→

Pocatello, ID (April 19)—The BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) announced today the significant support to help save trails nationwide from IH8MUD.com. Brian Swearingen, owner, and the great folks at IH8MUD.com conceived a simple fund-raising program where paid subscriber funds for a two-week period went directly to BlueRibbon Coalition, netting a $3000 donation.

“My concept was simple and easy for subscribers to buy a membership to the forum and support BlueRibbon Coalition at the same time,” said Brian who goes by “Woody.” He set aside two weeks where all the funds raised would directly support keeping trails open by donating the funds to BRC.
IH8MUD.com is a primarily Toyota based internet forum that also promotes responsible motorized recreation with a worldwide audience.

“This donation amplifies BRC’s force in educating the American public in responsible recreation while helping to keep our sports alive,” said Greg Mumm, Executive Director of BRC. “We are very appreciative of the fine folks at IH8MUD.com,” Greg added.

Note: any internet forum wishing to conduct a similar fund-raising project is encouraged to contact Del Albright at brdel@sharetrails.org.
