The NBEAA chapter formed the team “Charging Forward with Electrics!” to help raise funds for the American Lung Association’s Blow the Whistle on Asthma Walk. The walk was 2.1 miles through beautiful Spring Lake Park in Santa Rosa. The chapter displayed EVs in this event alongside many other teams’ and organizations' display areas.
