Tracked Wheelchair GIveaway: Honoring Darrin of Pendleton, Oregon

With the generous funding from The Wildhorse Foundation, The Brent Oliver 541 Foundation was honored to award a state-of-the-art tracked wheelchair to a truly deserving recipient; Darrin Umbarger, of Pendleton, Oregon. This giveaway was especially meaningful, as Darrin was nominated multiple times by members of his community – speaking volumes about the impact he has made in the lives of others. 

Darrin and his family run the Clearview Disability Resource Center in Pendleton, where they provide critical resources, advocacy, and support for individuals living with disabilities throughout Eastern Oregon. Beyond his professional work, Darrin is an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fishing and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. This all-terrain wheelchair will give Darrin the freedom to more fully experience the outdoors he loves – without limitations of terrain or accessibility!

To help Darrin continue pursuing his outdoor passions, The Brent Oliver Foundation partnered with High Timber Dreams to also gift him an outdoor adventure. This incredible outdoor experience was made possible by the generosity of Ryan and Dehanna – of High Timber Dreams – who open their home and hearts to guide each hunter personally. Their dedication is a true testament to the power of community, and  compassion. This special opportunity gives Darrin the chance to take full advantage of his new mobility in the great outdoors, reconnecting with the wild places he loves most. 

At The Brent Oliver 541 Foundation, we are committed to breaking down barriers and opening up the outdoors to everyone. Darrin’s service to others, strength of character, and passion for nature perfectly reflect our mission. We are proud to stand beside him as he sets out on new adventures – with new mobility, and a new season of opportunity ahead.

Congratulations Darrin, we can’t wait to see where your new wheels take you next!
