17th annual Jeep event celebrates summer, the
great outdoors and giving back
Barricade, an industry leader in off-road Jeep Wrangler
products, is proud to announce that this year’s Barricade Go
Topless Day was celebrated in all fifty states and 6 countries,
bringing together Jeepers to celebrate summer and raise money for a
number of local charities. 460-plus events were held worldwide with
more than 66,000 Jeeps and participants celebrating summer by
taking their Jeep tops off while also raising money to support
local charities. To date more than $687,000 has been raised for
nonprofits across the country and world.
Barricade Go Topless Day grew from a small meetup of Jeepers at
a local farm stand in 2008 to today being celebrated worldwide on
May 18th by thousands of Jeep enthusiasts. Activities range from
picnics, trail runs, giveaways, convoys, trail and beach clean-ups,
parades, and other social events, all in the name of fun and giving
back.
Barricade encourages each club holding a Go Topless Day event to
support a registered 501(c)(3) organization of their choice. To
expand the impact of generous Jeepers across the nation, Barricade
donates $500 to any host that raises a minimum of $500 for their
local charity.
“From where Go Topless Day started to where it is today is
absolutely astounding,” said Steven Voudouris, Barricade/Turn 5,
Inc. founder, president and CEO. “It's incredible to witness the
passion and dedication of our Jeep communities coming together to
support great causes. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a
positive impact and create lasting memories with fellow
enthusiasts. Together, we are not just driving Jeeps, we are
driving change and spreading joy to those in need.”
