Join Land Rover Orlando in Presenting Kairos Adventures Inc. with Their Customized Defender 130 SUV on Wednesday,  March 6 at 11am with a Special Celebration at Land Rover Orlando

Land Rover Orlando is proud to present Kairos Adventures Inc. with a customized Defender 130 SUV after winning one of six categories in the 2023 “Defender Service Awards” presented by CHASE, which recognize organizations across the U.S. and Canada that exemplify the Defender ethos of helping positively serve their communities.  Kairos Adventures received the “Community Service Award” presented by ei3, which recognizes charitable organizations that do so much to benefit their local communities and the people who call them home.  Located in Casselberry, Florida, Kairos Adventures empowers people with varying abilities to discover and develop their unique, inherent potential and purpose.  They offer innovative programs in the arts, including music, drama, dance, martial arts, culinary arts and video production, as well as local exploration opportunities and community service projects.  The ancient Greek word “kairos” refers to the right time for crucial action, and the organization believes that by being present and engaged in a community that empowers and elevates artists, everyone experiences moments of kairos every single day.  Land Rover Orlando will hold a special celebration on Wednesday, March 6, 2024 at 11am to present Kairos Adventures with their custom Defender 130. 

“Defender has always been known for empowering organizations across the globe with capable vehicles to facilitate humanitarian work,” says Matthew Yates of Land Rover Orlando.  “We are very happy to keep with this tradition and honor those who exemplify these values right here in our Central Florida community and award the much-deserving organization, Kairos Adventures, their very own Defender 130.”
