According to a news release from the Red Rock 4-Wheelers club, donation recipients are determined by recommendations made by club members. Several organizations that provide assistance during the annual Easter Jeep Safari receive annual donations, the news release stated.
The Red Rock 4-Wheelers also announced that the group paid $36,414 to the Bureau of Land Management, the state School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, and the National Park Service for fees and permits required for the club to use the trails during Easter Jeep Safari and the group’s annual Labor Day Campout.
The BLM, which receives the lion’s share of the fees, uses them for local trail and facility maintenance and improvements.
