Coast Life: PE teacher turns vision of Jeepin the Coast into a summer tradition
SUMMARY: Jeeping enthusiasts gather in south Mississippi for “Jeep in the Coast,” an annual early summer event started by Jennifer Moran. Passionate about her 2015 Jeep Wrangler, Jennifer launched the event in 2011 as a breast cancer fundraiser, initially part of “Cruising the Coast.” It became an independent event in 2018, growing significantly, with over 3,000 Jeeps and 20,000 visitors last year. The main hub is Long Beach, where the community supports it for the tourism and economic benefits. Jennifer, also a PE teacher, eagerly awaits this favorite week, celebrating with various events across the Mississippi coast.
This week, Jeeps are rolling into South Mississippi from across the nation for Jeepin the Coast.
