OSHKOSH, Wis. — Jan. 8, 2010 — With the support of Oshkosh Defense, a division of Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), the Armed Forces Foundation is bringing the Rumble With a Cause sweepstakes to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which takes place on Jan. 9, to raise funds for active and retired U.S. military members and their families. Visitors and game attendees will be able to donate to or enter the sweepstakes, as well as view the custom-painted, Army-themed Harley Davidson® Fat Boy® motorcycle, one of two bikes donated by Oshkosh Defense that are the Sweepstakes prizes.
