The
Skinner Round-Up presented by Cessna returns in 2016 to benefit Hope For The
Warriors, a national nonprofit focused on restoring self, family and hope for
post-9/11 service members, veterans and military families. Hosted by 1995
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion Mike Skinner and his wife, Angie,
the two-day event will feature its traditional Hoedown Bash and golf tournament,
along with some new additions; the Gunslingers 30 Shot Competition and the
Skinner Corral of HOPE. The two-day event will take place near Lake Toxaway in
the mountains of North Carolina on October 20-21.
"Angie
and I are so excited to bring the Skinner Round-Up presented by Cessna to the
mountains of North Carolina this year," said Mike Skinner. "We
discovered Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort about five years ago, and
we're so excited to have our family, friends and fans here for this year's
Round-Up event. We couldn't be more thrilled that all proceeds will be donated to
Hope For The Warriors; a military nonprofit that we discovered right around the
same time that I retired from full-time racing. Being able to spend time with
their staff and service members really helped me through that transition. I'm
so thankful to all of our partners for their support and I'm excited to give
back to Hope For The Warriors this year."
Numerous
sponsors have joined the effort to make the 2016 Skinner Round-Up presented by
Cessna possible, including Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort and
Burlingame Country Club, hosts of this year's event. New in 2016, the
Gunslinger's 30 Shot Competition is presented by NRA and Bad Boy Off Road,
while the Skinner Corral of HOPE is presented by Liberty Coach. Thursday
night's Hoedown Bash is presented by Cessna, while E-Z-GO will present Friday's
Skinner Round-Up Golf Classic. Additional partners supporting the Skinner
Round-Up include Black Bear Lodge, Bulova, Calvin and Peggy Braxton,
Carrabba's, E-Z Line, FocusPoint, Forth Right Wealth Management, Andrew T.

"We
have been blessed to have Mike and Angie Skinner as advocates and friends of
Hope for a few years now,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and president of
Hope For The Warriors. “It is an honor to be the beneficiary of this year's
Skinner Round-Up in North Carolina. We look forward to utilizing these funds to
empower veterans, service members and military families in our
communities."
