Jeep Road Rally To Support Chardon Healing Fund

Online, April 4, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Jeeps are icons of America, forever tied to freedom, capability, and adventure. And every Jeep Owner has a unique story to tell, a rich heritage of traditions and folklore that are symbols of personal pride. These things make us who we are. We just have to do it, and so we do.

This year, Jeep enthusiasts, companies, clubs, communities, and you, join Adventure Chrysler Jeep Dodge for the Northeast Ohio Jeep Road Rally.

Funds raised will go to support the work of the Chardon Healing Fund.

Join us for this very special fundraiser, meet your fellow Jeepers, and show what it means to be a Jeep Owner.

On May 19, 2012, Create A Legend. The Things We Make, Make Us.
