Inaugural Jeep Rally for Respect rides to Fenwick Island

The Inaugural Jeep Rally for Respect was held Sept. 7. The Jeep Rally is a police-escorted Jeep parade down the highway, from Delaware Seashore State Park South Inlet Day Use Area to Fenwick Island State Park.

The convoy is followed by lunch and other festivities, including a Show & Shine on the beach. All proceeds raised from the event benefit Special Olympics Delaware. 

“Anytime we can attract a new segment of Delaware, we are excited for the opportunity to educate them about the value of Special Olympics to our Delaware residents,” said Lisa Smith, director of marketing and development for Special Olympics Delaware. “We anticipate that this event, similar to our other unique events, will become a mainstay fundraiser for the organization and that, one day, the Jeeps participating in this inaugural ride will look back on it and be proud to have been part of the first one.”
