Steve House, Dare County Board of Commissioners vice chairman and OBX Jeep Charities president, along with Cheryl House, Dare County register of deeds and OBX Jeep Invasion Executive Committee member, announced that OBX Jeep Charities raised $40,000 from the 2024 OBX Jeep Invasion to benefit multiple local charities. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides various resources, programs and activities designed to enhance the lives of Dare County citizens.

During the January Dare BOC meeting, House presented the following three checks for some of the funds raised:

• $3,500 to Dare County Special Olympics (presented to Dare County Special Olympics coordinator Sandy Pace)
• $3,500 to the Outer Banks SPCA (presented to Outer Banks SPCA executive director Bill Coleman)
• $6,000 to Wounded Warriors in Action

In addition to the funds that were presented to these three charities at the meeting, OBX Jeep Charities also collected an assortment of toys during the OBX Jeep Invasion last fall to be donated to local underprivileged children via the Virginia S. Tillett Community Center’s Annual Toy Drive that took place in December.

Held from Sept. 20 to Sept. 22, 2024, the fourth annual OBX Jeep Invasion brought more than 640 Jeeps to the Outer Banks to attend the three-day event, which also featured multiple vendors, a fun run, vendor bingo, live music, raffles, food trucks and more at the Soundside Event Site in Nags Head. The 2025 OBX Jeep Invasion will be held in September. For more information as details about the event become available, go to OBXJeepInvasion.com.
