Felling Trailers will be hosting its seventh annual Trailer for a Cause online auction of an FT-3 Utility trailer to benefit a nonprofit organization. Felling Trailers’ goal is to bring awareness to various nonprofits that are making a difference by donating 100% of the winning bid from the auction to a different nonprofit each year. The previous Trailer for a Cause auctions have raised over $17,000, and the money raised has gone to benefit organizations such as; Bright Pink – Breast Cancer, PANCAN – Pancreatic Cancer, ACTonALZ – Alzheimer’s, ABTA – American Brain Tumor Association, and SOMN – Special Olympics Minnesota, and MOCA – Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance.
Felling Trailers has selected CCRF as the 2019 Beneficiary
Felling Trailers, Inc., has selected Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) as the 2019 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary. “For the second year, we put the decision of selecting the benefitting organization in the hands of our team members in the form of a vote. A list of organizations and corresponding information was given to team members to select from, and once the votes were tallied, Children’s Cancer Research Fund received the most votes in their favor,” said Brenda Jennissen President/CEO of Felling Trailers. “Nearly all of our team members know someone or are someone whose life has been impacted by childhood cancer, and we look forward to the opportunity to make a difference.” The 2019 Trailer for a Cause will be painted in CCRF’s signature grey color and display the Children’s Cancer Research Fund emblem.

Trailer for a Cause Coming Up Fall 2019
A Fall 2019 auction is being planned for Trailer for a Cause. Leading up to the auction, Felling Trailers will be working with CCRF to generate awareness about childhood cancer along with the research funding and resources that CCRF has to offer those individuals and families it affects. Only four percent of federal cancer funding is dedicated to childhood cancer, and Children’s Cancer Research Fund works to fill the gaps by providing the critical funding needed to find safer, more effective therapies for kids battling cancer. Today more than 15,000 kids and young adults are diagnosed with cancer each year, which is approximately 42 per day. Approximately one in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20thbirthday.
