Medina, MN - This past Saturday, Polaris, in
conjunction with the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), gave away three, special,
blacked-out Ranger RZR XP 4 900s to WWP Alumni. The "Phantom 4s" were
presented to the three winners by representatives from the Wounded Warrior
Project and Polaris.
Polaris Defense surprised each winner by providing $5,000
worth of gear and accessories to outfit their new vehicles. Polaris also
presented Wounded Warrior Project, $33,050 to honor the 1,322 people that
entered the contest ($25 for each entrant).
Winners Tammy Persing, Gavin Goodwin and William Hampton
entered an essay contest explaining what it would mean to them to win a Polaris Ranger
RZR and how they and their family would enjoy the vehicle. Their essays
touched on how the vehicles would give them the ability to enjoy life with
their families, be more adventuresome and give them freedom away from the
hospitals and post-war challenges they have endured.
The official giveaway to the contest winners was at a ride
area outside of Phoenix,
AZ. Jagged X, which was instrumental in developing and helping Polaris with the
"Phantom 4s," orchestrated a ride after the presentation for the winners and
their families.
"Polaris would like to congratulate the winners of the essay
contest and thank them for their service," Jason Difuccia, marketing manager
for Polaris' Off-Road Vehicles Division, said. "It was our pleasure to donate
the `Phantom 4s' to such a wonderful organization. These individuals have made
a great sacrifice for our freedom; we hope these vehicles bring joy to them and
their families."
