Topless in the Hills: A Community Event Supporting Tunnel to Towers
On May 16, 2026, NewGen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Clinton will host a one-of-a-kind event that brings together community, purpose, and passion. Partnering with the Misfit Jeepers, the dealership is proud to present Topless in the Hills, a family friendly Jeep event dedicated to raising funds for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. While the day will be filled with Jeeps, food, raffles, and fun, the true purpose of the event runs much deeper. Every dollar raised will go directly to supporting heroes and their families across the country.
The mission behind Tunnel to Towers is rooted in courage and sacrifice. The foundation was created to honor firefighter Stephen Siller, who gave his life on September 11, 2001. After learning of the attacks, he ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel in full gear to reach the World Trade Center, where he ultimately lost his life saving others. His story became the foundation for an organization that now serves thousands of families nationwide. Today, Tunnel to Towers provides mortgage free homes to Gold Star families and the families of fallen first responders. They also build specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans, helping them regain independence and live with dignity. Their work ensures that the sacrifices made by these heroes are never forgotten.
For NewGen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Clinton, supporting this mission is more than just a partnership. It is a commitment to giving back in a meaningful way. The dealership has always focused on being part of the community, not just doing business in it. Hosting an event like Topless in the Hills reflects that mindset. When the opportunity came to support Tunnel to Towers, it was an easy decision. These are the individuals who protect our freedoms and serve our communities every day, and this event is one way to give back to them.
The collaboration with the Misfit Jeepers adds another layer of excitement and purpose. Known for their passion for Jeep culture and strong sense of community, the Misfit Jeepers bring energy, enthusiasm, and a dedicated following to the event. Together with NewGen, they are creating an experience that is both fun and impactful. Topless in the Hills is not just about showcasing vehicles, it is about bringing people together around a shared purpose.
The event itself promises to be an exciting day for attendees of all ages. Taking place from 11 AM to 4 PM at the NewGen dealership on West Michigan Avenue in Clinton, the lot will be transformed into a hub of activity. Jeeps of all styles will be on display, from daily drivers to highly customized off road builds. Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to connect, share ideas, and admire the creativity and craftsmanship that make the Jeep community so unique.
In addition to the vehicle showcase, there will be Best in Show awards, adding a fun and competitive element to the day. Raffles and giveaways will take place throughout the event, featuring prizes donated by generous sponsors and local businesses. These raffles play an important role in raising funds for Tunnel to Towers, giving attendees a chance to win while also contributing to a great cause.
Vendors will also be on site, including well known names such as Continental Tire, Unlimited Off Road, and Rock Rash Off Road, along with other local businesses. Their presence helps create a lively atmosphere and offers attendees the chance to explore products, services, and accessories related to the Jeep and off road lifestyle. Food trucks will provide a variety of options, making it easy for guests to spend the entire day enjoying everything the event has to offer.
Topless in the Hills is designed to be a family friendly event. It is not just for Jeep owners, but for anyone who wants to be part of a positive and welcoming environment. Whether you are attending with friends, bringing your family, or simply stopping by to check things out, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
The impact of events like this goes far beyond a single day. It is easy to underestimate the power of coming together as a community, but every entry fee, every raffle ticket, and every donation adds up. Those contributions help fund the programs that Tunnel to Towers provides, from paying off mortgages for grieving families to building homes for injured veterans. Each dollar raised represents support, appreciation, and recognition for those who have given so much.
The partnership between NewGen CDJR of Clinton and the Misfit Jeepers is a perfect example of what can happen when businesses and community groups align around a shared goal.
