Last summer saw the US luxury yacht builder, Outer Reef Yachts, raise money at their annual Owners Rendezvous to support the most treasured national asset in the USA – the men as well as women of US armed forces, through Truckin 4 Troops. Based out of Maryland, Truckin 4 Troops represents a 403c group, dedicated to helping wounded service men and women at the most personal level. Thanks to support from their yacht owners and industry associates, Outer Reef Yachts helped Truckin 4 Troops acquire a custom pickup truck for Travis Mills, a Staff Sergeant, who lost parts of all four of his limbs during his third tour in Afghanistan.
Outer Reef has not stopped there – they are now on a campaign to help Truckin 4 Troops raise money for their Land 4 Heroes Project. The Project hopes to raise enough money to buy and develop a track of land to serve as a retreat for patients and their families housed at Walter Reed Army hospital in Bethesda, MD.
“We are in a luxury industry and it’s about time that we, as an industry, support the men and women who insure our way of life,” commented Jeff Druek, owner of Outer Reef Yachts.
