Felling Trailers will host its ninth Trailer for a Cause auction of an FT-3 Utility trailer benefiting a nonprofit organization. Felling Trailers’ will donate 100% of the auction’s winning bid to a nonprofit, with a different beneficiary chosen each year. The goal of the auction is to bring awareness to nonprofits that make a difference. The previous Trailer for a Cause auctions has raised over $25,000 for nonprofit organizations such as: Bright Pink—Breast Cancer; SOMN—Special Olympics Minnesota; Children’s Cancer Research Fund; and Lymphoma Research Foundation, to name a few.
Felling Trailers, Inc. selected the Minnesota Firefighters Foundation (MNFFF) as the 2021 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary. “We respect and appreciate firefighters’ time, skills, and service as they risk their lives to protect our communities,” says Brenda Jennissen, president/CEO of Felling
Trailers. “Having almost a dozen volunteer firefighters on our team makes it even more personal, and we’re honored to give back to this statewide organization that works to educate and bring awareness to all of our Minnesota firefighters.”
Felling Trailers is planning a Fall 2021 auction for Trailer for a Cause. Leading up to the auction, Felling Trailers will work with MNFFF to generate awareness about firefighters and their families that have been affected by cancer and other health issues due to their involvement in the fire service. With carcinogens released from fires, on-scene deaths pose a risk to firefighters, as well as cancer caused by carcinogen ingestions. Annually, over 70 firefighters die in the line of duty, while cancer is the leading cause of death among firefighters. Since 9/11 over 7,000 firefighters have received a diagnosis of some form of cancer or a disabling health diagnosis.
