Niagara Jeep Fest's History:
In 2016 with the help of the "Port Dalhousie Lion's Club" and given over to us by a "Niagara Jeep & Offroad Club" Administrator we created Jeep Fest Niagara which soon morphed into Niagara Jeep Fest thereafter.
We had a great turnout (55 registered) for our first event and raised approximately $1000.00 after expenses to go towards a donation the "Lion's Club" made to get a service dog for someone in need of one.
In 2017 "NAJC" decided to come together and use a new venue on our own (in addition to some help from some "HAJC" members) which was more easily found and view-able from the main highway that goes through the region. We had a better turnout at 72 registered and approximately $1500.00 after expenses donated to "Niagara Children's Centre".
Last year in 2018 we by far had our best year yet at 116 registered and we donated $5000.00 after expenses to "Bethlehem Housing & Support Services".
This year we moved the venue again to a more secured area with a lot more space and room for new opportunities (see About page for location information). We had 148 jeep and 4x4 vehicles registered.
On Sunday September 22nd we donated to Bethlehem Housing and Support Services in the amount of $4000.00 making our total donated to that charity so far $9000.00.
We will be working with the same charity again next year and hope to just keep raising more and more for them each year moving forward.
