Felling Trailers conducts its eighth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit a nonprofit organization. Lymphoma Research Foundation is the 2020 recipient. Felling Trailers wants to generate awareness about lymphoma and the research funding and resources the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) offers. Thus, Felling Trailers painted one of its trailers Burkitt’s lymphoma’s signature green that bears the Lymphoma Research Foundation emblem.
The online auction of the trailer will run for seven days: September 9 to 12 pm on September 15. Several Felling Trailers’ suppliers also joined to support LRF through sponsorship of the trailer build, from lighting to tires to paint. The 2020 Trailer for a Cause sponsors are Trans-Texas, PPG Industries, Dexter, Sealco, Peterson, Industrial Wood, and Demco. Additionally, 100% of the winning bid will benefit the Lymphoma Research Foundation!
LIGHTING IT RED
September is Lymphoma & Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and Felling wants to do its part to help shine a light on lymphoma. Leading up to the auction, Felling will share stories of those touched by Lymphoma to help educate and drive awareness. The company will also participate in LRF’s Light It RED for Lymphoma. Felling will light the Trailer for a Cause display red during September along with other company activities throughout the month. Light it Red for Lymphoma, is LRF’s grassroots Blood Cancer Awareness Month’s initiative. It brings lymphoma awareness to local, national, and global conversation by lighting displays, buildings, bridges, and homes red.
PAINTING IT GREEN
Felling selected the signature green color for Burkitt’s lymphoma to show support and honor a team member who was diagnosed with Burkitt’s in the first part of this year. He has made positive strides throughout his treatment journey, all while his family, friends, and co-workers cheer him on. He is their warrior, and all of those that support him, pray for him, and stand beside him are Team Warrior. Along with the signature green color, the trailer will also bear the Team Warrior name.
