CFP, Bounty Hunter and Make a Wish team up in Billings, Montana

On Friday, March 19th the Bounty Hunter monster truck was awake and roaring ahead of schedule, but car crushing and catching air was not on the agenda.  Instead, with the help of the Make a Wish Foundation – CFP and Darren Migues the driver of Bounty Hunter were setting out to make a dream come true for a very special little boy.

Gavin Maxwell, age 5, was given the surprise of a lifetime as he was getting out of school on Friday.  He and his family were met with the flashing lights of a tow-truck convoy and the Bounty Hunter monster truck which was unloaded and fired up, where it then drove to the front door to greet Gavin and family.  Gavin was elated and the smile on his face was infectious, spreading to everyone in attendance.  Gavin was given a Bounty Hunter toy truck, as well as an autographed photo by Migues – and the family will be the special guests of Checkered Flag Productions at Saturday night’s show at MetraPark in Billings.

After some time for chatting and a Class Photo with Bounty Hunter the truck was loaded back onto the flatbed and Gavin was given a ride home from school with the Bounty Hunter monster truck. There is no doubt who had the sweetest ride in town after school on that day!

This email from Gavin’s mom Shay from later in the night after the event really says it all:

Thank-you.  What a priceless afternoon.  Gavin has not stopped talking about Bounty Hunter or stopped smiling since we saw him.  He is even in the bathtub right now playing monster truck with the truck he received today.

I can’t tell you how awesome this was!!  Everybody was amazing to work with.  They even let him do a class picture in front of the truck.

Thanks again,

Shay Maxwell
