Jeep Fundraiser Collects Over $5,000 For American Diabetes Association
Posted May 10th, 2010 By Kelly Little-Cart | General News

On behalf of Franklin Sussex Auto Mall and the High Point Mudslingers, I would like to extend our gratitude and sincere thanks to the Sussex Fire Department and First Aid Squad, the girls of Hooters in Franklin, RER Supply, North Church Gravel, and most importantly, the Jeep enthusiasts who made it all possible! Approximately 100 Jeeps of every make and model you can think of started lining up at the Auto Mall entrance at 7:30am. After registering in at the American Diabetes Association/Mudslingers table, our Jeep guests made their way to their event of choice….Obstacle Course, RTI Ramp or Show-N-Shine. The early day rain did nothing, but make the mudpit even better. After the sun came out, this event turned into one of the most memorable to date at Franklin Sussex Auto Mall. The grill was cooking full blast to feed the great crowd, who donated $3 per person toward the American Diabetes Association for the all-you-could-eat BBQ. WSUS was live on remote with additional prizes, DJ Eddy was spining the tunes, and WPIX -TV stopped by to film for the nightly broadcast! My favorite part of the day was a ride through the obstacle course courtesy of High Point Mudslinger, Scott Feldman. What a ride! Personally, I was amazed witnessing these Jeeps crawl/bounce/climb over everything in their path! It made me want to join one of the countless “family” of Jeep clubs, so I can do this every weekend. No wonder they are America’s favorite 4×4! Stop by the Auto Mall and test drive one for yourself. Believe me, it’s a very impressive vehicle.
