Camo Cares
One of the highlights of HUMOR is risk-taking. That’s exactly what Jason Say and Kyle Schwabenbauer, co-founders of Wired Outdoors, do regularly. Their outdoor show gives hunting a new twist. That’s because behind the outdoorsy facade is a caring and outward-reaching duo.
Their “Hunt of a Lifetime” is a hunting trip for someone with a life-threatening illness. Jason and Kyle regularly host fund-raisers to build their chances of offering these Hunt of a Lifetime trips to as many people as needed.
But that’s not the biggest story. Or that their Wired Outdoors is exactly what good humor should be like: fun, community-concerned, and creative.
The biggest story is their most recent fund-raiser. Held out in the middle of nowhere, their event hosted live bands, raffles, drawings, and food. And of course–fun! Kyle told me they were surprised at the support they’d gotten. The event raised over $20,000 for the Hunt of a Lifetime cause.
And just because these two guys
1. Took a risk and did what was fun and interesting to them
2. Reached out to involve their community
3. Remembered to have FUN.
That’s what all humor can be like. You never know how far you can take your risks when you make FUN the central focus.
