Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., donated a new Grizzly 700 FI with Electric Power Steering to the Seacoast Science Center on NBC’s Today Show as part of its week-long “Lend A Hand” series.  The Seacoast Science Center, set in Rye, N.H., is a popular destination for families and students to learn about coastal environmental history.  This was the ninth year for NBC’s "Lend a Hand" series, which continues its mission to help small charities across the country that work toward improving conditions in their communities.

“Yamaha was excited to participate and proud to be a part of this great support for the Seacoast Science Center,” said Mike Martinez, general manager of Yamaha’s ATV/SxS. 

“Yamaha supports education, conservation and responsible use of our lands and natural resources whether through our national OHV Access Initiative, in which we’ve contributed more than $1.4 million; our outdoors conservation partners like Ducks Unlimited, of which we’ve supported with more than $1 million; or individual donations such as this.  We thank the Today Show for inviting Yamaha to participate and congratulate the Seacoast Science Center for their decades of great work.”
