TEMECULA, California (August 1, 2023) - The 9th Annual Caselli MotoDoffo fundraising event, presented by FMF, KTM, and Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, took place on Saturday, June 10, 2023, at the beautiful Doffo Winery in Temecula, California. Over 366 enthusiastic attendees gathered from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm to celebrate the life and legacy of Kurt Caselli while contributing over $43,700 to help advance The Kurt Caselli Foundation's mission of Protecting and Supporting the Lives of Off-Road Riders.
The atmosphere was electric as enthusiasts, sponsors, and supporters alike gathered to honor the memory of Kurt Caselli, a legendary racer whose larger-than-life spirit and love for the sport continue to inspire generations of riders. The grounds were abuzz with excitement as live music by Those Guys Band filled the air, setting the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening. A family-friendly affair, the event featured engaging activities for kids, including face painting, hat designing, balloon art, and more, ensuring a memorable experience for attendees of all ages.
This year's event brought back vendors, adding an extra dimension of engagement as attendees could interact with some of their favorite moto brands who are also big supporters of the Foundation and off-road safety. The silent auction, raffles, Caselli merchandise, food and drink proceeds, and event admissions played a pivotal role in raising funds to support The Kurt Caselli Foundation's initiatives within the off-road riding and racing community.
During the KCF presentation, the two Fall 2023 Kurt Caselli Scholarship recipients were announced, recognizing Braxton Good of Huber Heights, Ohio, and Corey Wettstein of Ontario, Oregon. Each recipient will be granted $6,600, which is sent directly to the school. The Kurt Caselli Scholarship program, established in 2015, continues to empower and support off-road racers in their pursuit of education and future careers. Racers can now apply for the Spring 2024 scholarship at KurtCaselli.com/scholarship.
