Camp Jeep raises $16,470 for “Tigers Forever” project


In the news: The Jeep brand has successfully raised $16,470 for the "Tigers Forever" initiative, a Panthera project in collaboration with the New York based Wildlife Conservation Society during the third annual Camp Jeep(R) in New York.

The goal of the project is to increase the number of tigers in key areas of the world by 50 percent in the next ten years. The Jeep brand has pledged to donate $5 to the "Tigers Forever" project for every person who took a ride on the Jeep Trail Rated(R) Test Track at Camp Jeep New York on April 14. 3,294 passengers rode the track, which included water fording, ground clearance, articulation, and traction and maneuverability demonstrations, to raise $16,470.

Camp Jeep New York also awarded Matthew McCarthy of Forrest Hills, New York, an all-expense paid trip with his family to Camp Jeep Virginia, the annual three-day mix of off-road driving and other family-oriented outdoor activities. McCarthy was the 500,000th person to take a ride on a Chrysler Group auto show test drive course since the auto show test drive program began in 2004.

The money raised at Camp Jeep New York will go directly to WCS's "Tigers Forever" initiative, which involves activities such as monitoring tiger and prey population as well as community education and outreach.
