he is happy to donate to such a worthy cause. “The cart
is a four seater Club Car Spartan with style and a little
attitude. We installed a booming sound system with LED
lights underneath and inside the cart. The cart is lifted and
equipped with hybrid tires that can go off road and on the
street and comes with brand-new 2023 batteries, a full light
kit including turn signals and a USB port. In addition, the
cart will be delivered with custom front and back seats.
The back seat has cup holders and a cooler installed
underneath the rear seat, so you can stay hydrated.” The
custom cart sold for $17,000 and after witnessing the impact
his donation had on the charity, Moser graciously donated
another cart which also sold for $17,000.
