Partnership and Preparation: Building the Dream Jeep
Last year, we partnered up with Appalachian State University to build and give away a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. The giveaway was a huge success, and we are thrilled that a lucky winner got to take home such an awesome Jeep. The collaboration with App State was a perfect blend of community spirit and ruggedness, resulting in a vehicle that truly stands out. The announcement at Kidd Brewer Stadium during halftime, paired with roaring applause and the Jeep being driven onto the field, was an unforgettable moment for our team and everyone present. The energy and excitement made it a highlight event of the year for both our company and the university.

This reveal during the rivalry game highlighted the impressive vehicle and the successful partnership that made the giveaway possible, making it a memorable moment for everyone involved.
