Seventh annual Midwest Liftfest, off-road family event to raise money for Casa for Kids

For the last seven years, Midwest Liftfest has raised over $125,000 for numerous not-for-profit charities in Oklahoma. This year’s family-oriented festival of Jeeps, Broncos, and other 4-wheel drive vehicles will raise money for Casa for Kids. CASA for Kids, Inc. stands beside children who have experienced abuse or neglect. By recruiting, training, and supporting dedicated community volunteers, CASA ensures that every child’s voice is heard in court, and their needs are never overlooked. These volunteers, Court Appointed Special Advocates, are often the one consistent, caring adult in a child’s life during an overwhelming time of uncertainty. Each year, CASA for Kids walks alongside more than 125 children, giving them the advocacy, stability, and hope they deserve as they move toward safe, permanent homes.

“We are honored to be chosen as the beneficiary of this year’s Midwest Liftfest,” said Sarah Priest, Executive Director of CASA for Kids. “The generosity of the off-road and Jeep, Bronco community will directly impact the lives of children experiencing foster care by helping us provide them with strong voices and safe futures. We are so grateful for this support.”

Midwest Liftfest (formerly entitled Midwest Jeepfest) is sponsored by Vance Auto Group, Kicker Audio Performance, and other generous businesses and individuals. The event will take place on Saturday, September 27th,h beginning at 11 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. This year’s entry is free and will include a newly redesigned off-road course created by Dan Mullenix, owner of Dirt Werx of Oklahoma. The festival will also include children’s inflatables, live music by the ‘Sugar Free Allstars Band,’ E-Bikes for kids, an R.C. track and R.C. off-road action, face painting, food trucks, raffle prizes, and much more.

“This is an event our entire family and staff enjoy sponsoring each year,” proudly remarked Megan Vance, Vice President of Vance Auto Group. “We work an entire year with local committee members, the City of Guthrie, Guthrie Chamber of Commerce, and many local businesses to make Midwest Liftfest happen so we can give back to the community and Oklahoma not-for-profit charities.”

Midwest Liftfest 2025 is being held behind the John Vance Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM dealership located at 5302 S. Division Street in Guthrie, OK. Jeep, Bronco, Lift, and other off-road and 4-wheel drive vehicle owners are encouraged to bring their families, dogs, appetites, and a desire to have an over-the-top experience.

Volunteers from the Guthrie, Edmond, and Logan County areas will assist in all aspects of the event.
