Challenger uses Sprinter to help Calif. charity

Posted on Friday, September 18th, 2009 at 2:17 PM EDT.

When can a twenty-year-old Challenger weigh 8 pounds and fly across the United States supporting charitable causes like the “Life Changing Lives” event held recently in California?  When it’s a bald eagle, not a popular Dodge vehicle it can!

The company loaned the charity organization a Sprinter van to transport a bald eagle named Challenger to its second annual One Heart Gala in California Sept. 11.  The bird, pictured here with its handler and the Sprinter van it called home for a week, had special transportation needs that only a Dodge Sprinter could fulfill while it was in town for the gala that raised an estimated $500,000 for charities like the Wounded Warriors Project, Make-A-Wish and Boys and Girls Clubs of Orange County.

Challenger (the bird) is part of the American Eagle Foundation, which is dedicated to promoting the Bald Eagle as the national symbol of the United States.
