ing lot, 56 US Route 1 Bypass, Kittery, with a rally where Jeep owners can gather, show off their vehicles and socialize before departing for a scenic
drive up the Maine coast, terminating at Bentley’s Saloon in Arundel. “I think it’s important to look for ways to give back to
the community and honor the men and women who’ve served our country,� said Lorandeau, who also serves as a volunteer firefighter for the York Village Fire Department. “It’s been a rough winter, so this is a great way for Jeep lovers across southern Maine and our neighboring states to enjoy the warm weather while supporting a great cause.� The Coastline Jeep Cruise is part of an international fundraising event organized by Jeep enthusiasts across the country to kick off the warm-weather season with an annual “Go Topless Day,� where Jeep owners strip off their hard and soft-tops covers to take to the roads and enjoy the open air.
Organizers act independently, raising money for the charities of their choice while utilizing the “Go Topless� tagline and social media platforms to promote their favorite causes. Participants pay an entry fee and raffle off donated items, with all proceeds in Maine going to the Summit Project. “The Maine Summit Project does an outstanding job of honoring Maine service members who fought for our country and never made it home. We’re honored to support them,� Lorandeau added. For more information, visit Red Line Jeeps or the Summit Project on Facebook, or www. thesummitproject.com.
