The Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation hosted two terminally ill boys, ages 13 and 15, from the United Special Sportsman Alliance this past December 19th-21st at the Foundation property. While spending time with Burton, the boys participated in deer and turkey hunting as well as learning about the outdoors.

Burton donated his time and the foundation resources making sure the event was both enjoyable and memorable. The event was filmed by and will be aired on Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World Television. "We all had a great time. I appreciate Bass Pro Shops providing the hunting apparel for the unseasonable cold temperatures that we had," stated Burton. The program will air on the Outdoor Channel on the following dates: Tuesday, March 8, 11:30 PM; Thursday, March 10, 2:30 PM; and Sunday, March 13, 9:30 PM.

Burton and Blue Ox, maker industry leading towing systems, have enjoyed a successful year of a marketing partnership.

The fundraising event was a pheasant hunt filmed by wildlife biologist Chuck Sykes, host and executive director of Management Advantage. In addition to the hunt, Burton visited a local elementary school and spoke to the children of the importance of conservation and education for our natural resources.
