2025 Krawl'n for the Fallen is almost here!!
Keep Krawl'n
Every year, hundreds of officers and K-9 officers that lost their lives in the line of duty are remembered through the support of their fellow officers that survived, their families, friends, and the community. Off-Road United Foundation, Inc. takes the support and turns it into an incredible event to raise money for their charities that assist the families of the fallen or injured First Responders. Last year alone, they raised over $80,000 with the help of over 2,000 people in attendance, nearly 800 Jeeps, 50 vendors, and over 50 volunteers! Krawl'n for the Fallen is that incredible event and is now one of the largest Off-Road events held on the Western Coast of Florida. It's a lot of fun, a great fellowship opportunity, and a wonderful way to show respect to those that have put their lives on the line for our safety and well-being. As a member of a family that has multiple first responders in it, this event makes me beyond grateful for the Off-Road United Foundation, Inc. and the people that make it all come together.
Now for the fun part!! Krawl'n for the Fallen is gearing up for the 2025 event and is looking for vendors and those that would like to pre-register for their camping spots and weekend passes!
