This episode of The Outside Podcast is brought to you by Defender.

You know, the adventure-ready family of vehicles capable of carrying all your gear plus eight

humans to any and every rugged locale. Yeah, that defender. Well, in addition to being a world-class adventure

mobile, did you know that for the last five years, the Defender Service Awards presented by

Chase has celebrated nonprofits that positively impact their community? This year, winners are

awarded a custom Defender 130 and $30,000.

What's even more awesome-er-est is that you, dear listeners, can submit a deserving organization from your community in one of five different categories,

including outdoor accessibility and education, which is presented by your good friends here and outside.

You've got until July 25th, so get to it. Learn more and make nominations at landrover USA.com forward slash
