Camping World & Marcus Lemonis
As 2020 wrapped up, we turned our shock about the unexpected move of Erik from Maryland to his native Long Island to excitement for to have a New York HQ for AEP.
This came during an even more unexpected surprise: winning a brand-new camper from Marcus Lemonis and Camping World, during a holiday giveaway campaign called #RVfromSanta.
It took a near-magical effort by friends, families and supporters who stepped up to create a Twitter campaign where Erik was un-ignorable by Camping World and even Marcus Lemonis himself, and we were immediately inspired by the goodness of humanity. With this outlook on how change can bring forth wonderful new adventures and people, we felt like we had our theme for 2021: The Year of Collaborations.
Team RWB & Shootout For Soldiers
Most recently, there has been an announcement by two organizations that Erik and Alexis have been involved with for several years: Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) announced the acquisition of Shootout For Soldiers. We were not only thrilled about this combination, but also that the Shootout For Soldiers will host 3 cities this year after canceling the 2020 tour. Baltimore, Long Island, and Canandaigua will anchor the 2021 summer season and there are sure to be some unique, inclusive and fun experiences at each! We're already seeing some outstanding collaborations gaining momentum as we hit the planning of this summer full steam ahead.
We look forward to continuing our collaborations in ways that are unfolding as we type this! Don't hesitate to reach out on social media DMs or our website to keep the collaboration momentum rolling well into 2022 and beyond!
