How two sets of Simply Bright LED headlights are helping drive wellness awareness across the Rio Grande Valley
Quick-Read Summary
Full Tilt Customs teamed up with Pharr Public Health for the 2nd Annual Men’s Health Week, June 23-28, donating two complete sets of Simply Bright LED headlights for the community raffle. By putting a high-value safety upgrade on the prize table, we helped boost participation, spark conversation about preventive care, and shine a literal light on men’s wellness here in the Valley.
Why Men’s Health Week Matters—Especially in South Texas
-
Higher risk, lower check-up rates: Nationally, men die about five years earlier than women; in South Texas, preventive-care visits among men trail women by roughly 15 percent (Texas DSHS 2024).
-
Barrier-free outreach: Pharr’s week-long event brings free screenings, fitness challenges, and expert talks directly to the community—no insurance or copay required.
-
Incentives that work: Research shows raffles and giveaways can raise event attendance by up to 30 percent; adding prizes tied to everyday safety (like brighter headlights) makes the message even stickier.
“If a brighter set of headlights is what gets someone in the door for a blood-pressure check, we’re all in.” — The Full Tilt Customs Crew

Why Headlights Belong in a Health Raffle
Safe night driving is a wellness issue: crash rates jump after dark on rural Texas roads. Simply Bright LEDs throw up to 200 percent more lumens than stock halogens while drawing 40 percent less power—clearer vision, longer battery life, safer commutes. The two raffle winners will see and be seen better every night, and everyone who shares the road with them benefits too.
