~ BLOOD:WATER MISSION ~

Copied from the 'About Us' section of Blood Water Mission's site - Founded by the multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning band, Jars of Clay, Blood:Water Mission began as a call to personalize the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa. The members of the band were committed to share the often-untold stories: those of creative, compassionate, hard-working Africans bringing health, hope and healing into their respective communities. Check out how a donation of $1 provides clean water to an African for a year. $12 allows a child to go to school rather than collect water. $25 provides clean water to an African for 25 years. Check out their video for more info.

~ SHOW HOPE ~

Copied from the 'About Us' section of Show Hope's site - Established in 2003 as Shaohannah’s Hope, Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth initially founded Show Hope out of their desire to see more children find their way into forever families. Though many families they talked to were willing to adopt, the financial costs to adoption were simply too high. In honor of their daughter: Maria's Big House of Hope is dedicated to saving the lives of special needs orphans in China by providing surgeries and medical attention. This home offers the highest level of care, enabling the children to thrive, and greatly increasing their chances of being adopted. Show Hope, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 ministry and your donation is tax deductible. See video...

~ HANDS & FEET PROJECT ~

Copied from the 'About H&F' section of Hands & Feet site - To raise a generation of orphans who will grow into men and women who will have a relationship with Christ and be leaders in their communities. It is also our vision to give people from our country the chance to experience the mission field and therefore be changed for the better. Hands and Feet Project , a 501c3 non-profit organization, is a children's village in Jacmel, Haiti that was started by the band Audio Adrenaline in 2004 The land was purchased in late 2004, and construction began in early 2005. Our first little girl arrived in the spring of 2005, and we now care for 40 children ranging in age from 2 months to 9 years old. Check out their video and see what they're about.

~ BITE BACK ~

Copied from the 'What is Malaria' section of Bite Back's site - Straight talk about the number one killer of children in Africa. Malaria starts with a fever. Then come the headaches and the vomiting. If not treated quickly, malaria can overwhelm the body or even infect the brain and cause a coma. At this point, malaria becomes fatal. Here are some quick figures for you to consider: 350-500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide each year. Malaria causes 20 percent of ALL childhood deaths in sub-Saharan Africa. 90 percent of malaria deaths occur in Africa—nearly 1 million people. Malaria kills 3,000 children each day.

~ MALARIA NO MORE ~

Copied from the 'About Us' section of Malaria No More's site - Malaria No More is determined to end malaria deaths. A non-profit, non-governmental organization, Malaria No More makes high-yield investments of time and capital to speed progress, unlock resources, mobilize new assets and spur the world toward reaching this goal. Because America conquered Malaria in the 1930s, most Americans think Malaria is not a serious problem. Yet, malaria is the greatest killer of children in the world, and unfortunately the numbers speak for themselves. Every 30 seconds a child loses their life to Malaria. See how a $10 mosquito net can change that.

~ HABITAT FOR HUMANITY ~

Copied from the 'Learn About' section of Habitat's site - We are a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live.

Over the past few years, Air 1 listeners have donated enough money to provide over 1.5 million meals and care to those in need. This year, the need has never been greater. The average cost of providing a meal at these participating ministries is just $1.96. Whether your gift is large or small, you can be sure your donation will make a big difference to the hungry and homeless in your area.

~ SWORR HISTORY ~

As stated in our banner above, the BRM OFFROAD family is passionate about promoting awareness of the millions of children that live in poverty world wide. Our newest passion all started shortly after sponsoring our first 2 children who live in extreme poverty. These children, and millions like them, live without everyday basics, the biggest being CLEAN water. Just hearing the stories of children motioning with their fingers towards their mouth and tummy in a desperate attempt to be fed, literally eating mud pies to put something in their stomachs, scooping filthy water from an irrigation canal full of bacteria and parasites to quench their thirst, parents having to tell one of their own children there's not enough food to go around. Our hearts went out to the hurting, not just the children, but their parents and community too. We have food and water and shamefully we take it for granted. We wanted to change that. We want to get the word out and give hope to those in need. We decided to form a group, SW Offroad Racers (SWORR), to generate awareness of the little things that can be done to give a child hope. An indescribable feeling of excitement went through us. A feeling that is so much more than the one you have when you finish on the top block of the podium, this was a deep feeling from within. Now we race to help kids throughout the world that live in poverty.

As we prepared ourselves, our business, and our vehicles for our 2009 Labor Day race weekend in Wisconsin a purpose and vision grew within us. It started with putting graphics on our trailer and buggy to generate awareness of various non-profit organizations that are working to help the children who live in poverty, world wide. We contacted Compassion International, Blood Water Mission, and Show Hope requesting flyers to hand out at our races. We printed banners to hang and stickers to give away as well. We drove 4200 mile round trip from Fountain Hills, Arizona to the north woods of Crandon, Wisconsin to race our 1600 Buggy in the 40th Anniversary of the World Championship Offroad Races. This was the biggest offroad short course race of the year and there would be thousands of fans on hand over the course of the 3-day event.

On Friday morning all race teams drive their race vehicles down the highway and into the town of Crandon with the local community waving and cheering everyone on along the way. The vehicles line the town streets for the Crandon Parade, fun events and competitions are held, great food and a whole lot of racing memories are on display. While at the famous Crandon Parade our buggy won the 'Bad Buggy' contest. There were approximately 50-60 Buggy's and we had absolutely no idea there was even such a contest until we were told we won later that night.

As soon as we got home to Arizona we contacted Compassion, Blood Water Mission, & Show Hope and donated the money to them. The racing was fun and as it turned out there were over 40,000 spectators at the races. We handed out close to 100 flyers from Blood Water Mission and some from Compassion... and that's how our new vision grew. Please visit our Crandon 2009 Race page to see more photo's of our trip.

Our vision is to give every child the thing they need most, a forever family through adoption. To provide clean drinking water for every child in Africa. To get others involved in sharing their love with another child through international sponsorship.

OUR MISSION is to generate awareness of these groups and others. By creating awareness people will be able to see how much prayer, a letter of encouragement and love, or a $5 donation helps a person in need.

OUR GOALS are to inform other offroad individuals, family's, organizations, and company's how they can get involved and give a child hope and help save a life.

If you would like to join our group and help spread the word please add this page as a link to your site, facebook, myspace, email announcements, etc and email us a photo to add below - SouthWest OffRoad Racers. We don't and won't sell your name or email info. We're just trying to establish a group of people who feel led in their hearts to spread the word and speak up for those children who can't speak for themselves. Thank you.
