POLARIS Polaris rZr teamed with country superstar Brantley Gilbert and the disabled American veterans last December to spread some cheer during the holiday season to three veterans and their families. Two Marines and an Army vet, all fans of Gilbert, were invited to High Lifter’s Off-Road Park in Louisiana with their families. The families were under the assumption they were helping with a promo video; instead, they were treated to a day of off-road riding with Gilbert and a private acoustic set. The evening was topped off when each family was surprised with a Polaris RZR XP 1000 of their very own.
