About Iron Horse 4x4s Inc.
Iron Horse 4X4's, Inc., is a registered nonprofit organization. Our diverse membership consists of people interested in four wheel
drive vehicles and the safe and responsible use of those vehicles both on and off the road. We belong to, and endorse the principles
of, "Tread Lightly," "United Four Wheel Drive," "Indiana Four Wheel Drive Association," and "The Blue Ribbon Coalition." Our
Organization has participated in numerous fund raisers for charities and taken part in local community service work. The membership
prides itself in helping others and working together. By doing this, we have made significant contributions to many local communities,
charities, organizations and individuals. Here is a list of some of the things we are or have been involved in. We sponsored and
organized a "Walk-a-thon" for a fund raiser for March of Dimes.
We organized and held five mud bogs for March of Dimes fund raisers. Iron Horse ran, operated and
manned the phone banks for two Muscular Dystrophy Telethons. We organized and held a mud drag fund raiser for Disabled Veterans. Iron Horse performed search and rescue with
"INCERT" (Indiana Council Of Emergency Response Teams) We assisted in building an I.H. Scout for the Indiana State Police as a emergency
rescue vehicle. We organized and held a mud bog fund raiser for The Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Thirty-four members have taken several classes to become Red Cross Disaster Relief and Red Cross Disaster Assessment
certified. The Red Cross used Iron Horse to evacuate stranded flood victims and to bring in and take out emergency teams. The Red Cross
used Iron Horse to tow Paramedics to their calls during a snow storm that left everybody stranded. Also we towed police and fire
departments when they became stuck during this same snow storm.
We are working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to be a part of the "wish list" (if a child wishes to go four wheeling in the mud,
sand, hill climbing, etc.) for kids with terminal illness that will not survive beyond their eighteenth year. Annually we participate in
three Fourth of July Parades with our 4X4's decorated. We also have annual club hay rides, club Christmas parties, mud drags, fright
nights and our ever popular annual club picnic which include such activities as softball, volleyball, badminton, horse shoes and lots of
good food. Every month we have at least one "Fox Hunt" and one club run, along with all the other activities we are involved in.
It is our goal, to enhance our environment and communities and to encourage the safe and responsible use of all types of vehicles both on and off the
road. To open more areas for 4X4 use and the use of other Off Highway Vehicles. Our membership participates in meetings, rallies
and seminars to guide us toward this goal. |
