'jeep jaunt'

In honor of Veterans' Day, the Louisiana Jeepers organized a 'ride' to visit the Louisiana Military Museum at Abbeville's Chris Crusta Memorial Airport on Saturday.

The 7th Annual 'jeep jaunt', to raise money for the American Lung Association, rolled through Acadiana today. The registration took place at Celebrity Theatres on Hwy 90 in Broussard, followed by the actual 'jaunt' to Cypress Bayou Casino and Hotel.

I checked the PO Box last night before I headed home, and it was chocked full of registrations for the 'jeep jaunt'!! We are gearing up for the 7th Annual 'jeep jaunt', which is coming up a week from today, and as of last night there were 656 people registered for the event!!

The Cajun Jeepers, a local, non-profit Jeep club, is holding their monthly meeting tonight at Maya's Mexican Grill (2633 S.E. Evangeline Thruway) at 6:30 pm. Cajun Jeepers Crue', based in Lafayette, was formed by people with similiar interests, including enthusiasm for outdoor/off-road activities and "giving back",  in efforts to support the missions of local charities.

Each year for the 'jeep jaunt' JAM!! (the official registration kick-off party for the 'jeep jaunt') 50 people who register win a "premium" item for registering.  The first year of the JAM!! (2009) was a 'jeep jaunt' cap, in 2010 it was a hoodie, last year we gave out 'jeep jaunt' gym bags, and this year it is a 'jeep jaunt' beach towel...

AJRF organized the Annual 'jeep jaunt' JAM!! this past Saturday, and it was a huge success!!  Even with the inclement weather, people showed up in droves to register for the 7th Annual 'jeep jaunt' (benefiting the American Lung Association).

The 7th Annual 'jeep jaunt' is coming up on October 28th to raise money for the American Lung Association, and the Annual 'jeep jaunt' JAM is the registration kick-off party, which will be held at Sterling Jeep on I-49 in Opelousas!

It's a time for 4x4ers and Louisiana Clubs to get together to benefit TARC.  There will be an obstacle course, a kid's obstacle course, music and crafts.  A great family outing for a cause! Louisiana 4xFest is an event to promote the Sport of Off-Roading in LA...

It has been said, and printed, that it was the JEEP that won WWII.  We know that it was a combination of things that actually won the war, and that if any one of those things were missing, we might not have won the war.  But, nonetheless, the JEEP played an integral part in victory.

The first Special Olympics Vermilion Bike/Jeep Poker Run and Cook-Off will take place on June 23, hosted by Museum Cafe' in Erath.  The ride will travel many back roads in Vermilion Parish and make stops in Erath, Henry, Intracoastal City and Abbeville.

The Trail Lizards Jeep Club (based out of Bossier City) held it's annual "Go Topless With The Lizards" Jeep show at Landers Chrysler/ Dodge/Jeep/ Ram dealership today, bringing together jeep enthusiasts and jeep owners to help raise canned goods for the local food bank.  And Yours Truly was there!

The 7th Annual 'jeep jaunt', to raise funds for the American Lung Association, will roll on October 28th! Cypress Bayou Casino and Shorty's, Celebrity Theatres, KATC TV3, Sterling JEEP in Opelousas and Hulco Printers, our partners in the event, have all signed back on for another year of fun, food, music and JEEPS!!!

The Falcon family has done it again! With the help from community Jeepers and generous donations the 6th Annual 'jeep jaunt' was a success.  Raising over $32,000 for the American Lung Association, the beautiful Sunday afternoon back road ride to Cypress Bayou Casino included lunch, an auction, door prizes, and great spirits in giving back to the community.

On Saturday, friends and families took part in the Inaugural Freedom Ride Jeep and Motorcycle Run,  put on by the Acadiana Patriots in conjunction with the Constitution Celebration , held at Comeaux Recreation Center/Beaullieu Park in Lafayette.  The Freedom Ride was a 60-mile trek through a beautiful part of Acadiana, with stops for refreshments and prizes.

The 6th Annual 'jeep jaunt' is set for October 23rd, and to kick off the registration process, the 'jeep jaunt' JAM!! took place Saturday at Sterling Automotive in Opelousas!

After our Mom died in 2004 from an asthma attack, my family and I created the non-profit organization AJRF so that we could start a fundraiser to donate money to the American Lung Association. The Inaugural 'jeep jaunt' turned out to be a huge success, raising $31,000 !!
