Ryan Sheckler Donates Custom Range Rover for Charity Fundraising

Pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler, a three-time Dew champion and X Games gold medalist, has launched a fundraising effort to support the Children's Cancer Research Fund. The program will run for three months, has a goal of at least $100,000, and the top fund-raiser will wind up behind the wheel of Ryan's highly customized Range Rover. Not a bad deal! Ryan's range was also featured in Car Audio & Electronics magazine (more pics at CA&E). The truck is loaded with a ton of Kicker gear: four 12" L7s, two SX700.4 four-channel amps, two SX1250.1 mono amps, four sets of SS-series components, two pairs of SS midbass drivers, three monitors in the rear, and loads of Dynamat. The Rover rolls on 24" Asanti wheels, and the guys at Racing Dynamics boosted the performance with a chip, custom headers and exhaust.

Interested in the chance to own this one-of-a-kind Range? Check out the full pic and press release after the jump.

World Famous Skateboarder Ryan Sheckler Launches Fundraising Effort for Children’s Cancer Research Fund

Carlsbad, CA – January 7th, 2008 – Ryan Sheckler donates vehicle in efforts to raise money for Children’s Cancer Research Fund

X Games Gold Medalist and three-times Dew Tour Champion Ryan Sheckler has partnered with Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) to raise money to help children with cancer. As part of the three month charity program, Sheckler is donating his personal Ranger Rover to the donor who raises the most funds for CCRF. Sheckler is launching the “Sheckler Family Foundation” in further support of philanthropies.

Children’s Cancer Research Fund is dedicated to providing national support for clinical research in pediatric cancer, while improving the medical environment for all children. A Healthier and Happier tomorrow is the mission and promise of CCRF to children and their parents everywhere.

The Range Rover will be presented by Ryan himself to the individual who raises the most money for CCRF at their annual 5k RUN/WALK on April 27, 2008. The winner will also receive two tickets to Los Angeles, accommodations and transportation to the event.

“Cancer has affected our family and so many of our loved ones. We want to help make a difference and raise funds to find a cure. Our goal is to raise at least $100,000.00 if not beyond. I am very excited to get this event going as it will be the first of many. The Sheckler family will soon be launching our own foundation “Sheckler Family Foundation.”

Fundraising efforts can be made by creating a fundraising page which is directly linked to Ryan’s official site where visitors can then email to prospective donors. For those individuals without regular access to a computer, downloadable forms can be printed and mailed. Deadline for all fundraising must be postmarked by April 10, 2008.
