More than 50 companies have donated more than 100 products to the nonprofit organization Tread Lightly! for its Fifth Annual Charity Auction on eBay. The auction is an effort to raise money for solutions to urgent outdoor recreation issues, such as restricted recreation access due to irresponsible behavior.
The auction is live now through Nov. 11 and can be viewed here. Big ticket items this year include a Gator XUV 625i utility vehicle and a Toy Gator donated by John Deere.
One hundred percent of the money raised will help keep access to trails and recreation sites open to the public. The auction also includes plenty of 4×4 accessories, powersports equipment and outdoor gear. Bids will start at 40 to 60 percent below retail prices.
“We’ve developed some remarkable new programs to help grow the number of good stewards and educated recreationists to help protect recreation access,” said Tread Lightly!’s executive director, Lori McCullough. “We’ve begun implementation, but we need help from the outdoor recreation community. Money raised from this auction is paramount in helping us save access and curtail closures.”
