What this fundraiser was
The Baja is the most-watched vehicle we have run. Pete S. from North Carolina won the first Baja in April 2025 and drove it home. Jeff W. from Nebraska won this second Baja on July 5, 2026 and chose the $250,000 cash. That left the truck with us and gave our community one final run at it.
