Cypress, CA (10/6/2011) - Yamaha
Motor Corp., U.S.A. is giving away a 2012 Grizzly
700 EPS ATV to help raise awareness and money
for the Honored American Veterans Afield (HAVA)
and Feed The Children organizations. Yamaha’s
new “Assembled in USA” sweepstakes
will raise money through $5 donations when individuals
enter to win the new Grizzly. Specific rules,
dates and entry forms are online at:
www.yamahaoutdoors.com/grizzlyforcharity
The Grizzly 700 (MSRP $9,749) is Yamaha’s
flagship ATV with top-of-the-line features like
Electric Power Steering (EPS), fuel injection,
Ultramatic® automatic transmission, On-Command®
push-button four-wheel-drive, four wheel independent
suspension and much more, making it the toughest,
most off-road capable ATV in its class.
The Yamaha Grizzly that will be given away at
the end of the sweepstakes is Steel Blue with
cast aluminum wheels and has a unique red, white
and blue “U.S.A.” themed graphic kit.
It was one of the first Grizzly 700 ATVs to come
off Yamaha’s production line in Newnan,
Ga., this May – significant because it marks
Yamaha’s long-term strategy to move the
production of more ATV models to the U.S.
“Yamaha is transferring the majority of
its ATV production to the state-of-the-art Yamaha
Motor Manufacturing Corp. of America facility
in Georgia over the next three years,” said
Steve Nessl, Yamaha’s ATV and SxS group
marketing manager. “All of our 4x4 ATV and
Side-by-Side vehicles are now assembled right
here in the U.S.A., and Yamaha is proud to give
away one of the first Grizzly 700 ATVs off the
Newnan production line to raise money for two
worthy charitable organizations.”
Yamaha is a founding sponsor of HAVA (
www.honoredveterans.org),
an organization created to help disabled soldiers
and veterans with the healing process through
active participation in outdoors sports. Yamaha
has worked with Feed the Children (
www.feedthechildren.org)
for more than 10 years raising several hundred
thousand dollars and feeding tens of thousands
of children. Yamaha will donate all money it raises
through the raffle evenly between the two organizations.
