Rago Fabrication Presents its Sponsorship with A Race Against Blindness

Chandler, AZ - Rago has partnered with Doetsch Off-Road to sponsor and contribute to a truly unique 2024 Land Cruiser overland build to raise money for A Race Against Blindness. After their son Luke was diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS), a rare vision-degenerative disease, Kristina and Steve Johnston founded A Race Against Blindness to raise funding for research and clinical trials focused on treating BBS, blindness, retinitis pigmentosa, and other low-vision disorders. As a way to raise money and awareness, they hold raffles for adventure vans, sports cars, overland trucks, and other exceptional builds. One of their current fundraisers is for their 2024 SEMA Overland Land Cruiser.

To help complete the build, Rago donated their expertly designed Land Cruiser front bumper, brush guard, front skid plate, full width rear bumper, roof rack, decking panels, exterior rear window molle panels, interior rear molle panel system, and a-pillar light mounts. Additionally, the Land Cruiser also features Black Rhino AWOL 17-inch matte black wheels, Dobinsons’ 3-inch coil-over adjustable lift kit, Freespirit Recreation’s Aspen Light Roof Top Tent, Kammok’s Crosswing Awning, KC HiLites’ full lighting package, Rotopax accessories, and WARN Industries’ EVO 10-S winch.

Daniel Bohler, Brand Manager for Rago, stated that “We were excited to partner with Doetsch Off-Road to help create this exceptional Land Cruiser build for A Race Against Blindness. It was a pleasure to work with such an amazing charity and generous sponsors. The overland community is known for its willingness to come together and assist those who need a helping hand, and it was inspiring to be a part of such a large group of people who were eager to support Luke and other children fighting to cure their rare low-vision disorders.”

The Land Cruiser was featured at SEMA through Doetsch Off-Road in Las Vegas from November 5th through the 8th to promote the raffle and increase visibility for A Race Against Blindness. The build was widely praised for its exceptional styling, high-end parts, and overland capabilities by those who saw it live at the convention.  

The fundraiser for the 2024 SEMA Overland Land Cruiser went live on November 2nd, and it is set to end at 11:59pm on December 31st, 2024. Rago encourages you to visit https://araceagainstblindness.org to explore A Race Against Blindness’ cause and enter to win this build of a lifetime.  

Rago wants to give a special thanks to their fellow 2024 SEMA Overland Land Cruiser sponsors: Doetsch Off-Road, KC HiLites, Black Rhino Wheels, and Dobinsons Suspension.
