Minneapolis, MN (7/27/2009) - Off-Road
Enthusiast CJ Rena Johnson is on a mission,
a mission to cure. Johnson, along with her Pink
Polaris RANGER RZR, is visiting private, public,
local, state and federal ATV and OHV parks around
the country to spread the word and raise money
for various charities including American Cancer
Society, American Breast Cancer Society, Leukemia
and Lymphoma Society and St. Jude Children Research
Hospital.
“I wanted to show that off-road enthusiasts
are an active community involved in helping
to improve our lives and the lives of those
around us, locally, statewide and nationally,”
said Johnson. “We are going to take
the nation by storm conquering every ATV and
OHV park in our path to raise money, and have
fun while doing it.”
“OHV Tour for a Cure” works by
having sponsors, groups, businesses, participants,
spectators and other riders pledge donations
to the charity of their choice. Johnson’s
site, http://www.cjrenajohnson.com/ will keep
a running total of monies pledged to the different
charities and also list contributors and sponsors.
The site also has an updated list of places
“OHV Tour for a Cure” will stop
so people can get involved. Johnson attends
every event and rides along in her Pink Polaris
RANGER RZR which has become a symbol of the
tour.
“When Johnson approached us about the
tour, I knew we had the perfect Side-by-Side
for the cause,” said Donna Beadle, spokesperson
for Polaris. “CJ has told us she gets
a lot of attention due to the Pink vehicle.
The more attention we can draw to the tour,
the more money that can be raised to find
a cure.”
