Felling Trailers, Inc. proudly announces Henry’s Heroes as the 2026 beneficiary of the 14th annual Trailer for a Cause auction. This time-honored tradition features the online auction of a custom Felling drop-deck trailer, with 100% of the winning bid donated to the selected nonprofit organization. In the past 14 years, the Trailer for a Cause auction has raised over $57,000 for nonprofits such as the American Brain Tumor Association, Special Olympics, Pockets of Hope, and Backing the Blue Line.
The goal is to raise awareness for organizations making a difference while supporting their vital work. Henry’s Heroes was selected as the 2026 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary through a vote by Felling Trailers employees. Team members cast their votes for the organization of their choice earlier this spring. After all the votes were counted, Henry’s Heroes received the most votes.
“This is incredible news, and thank you so much! On behalf of all of us at Henry’s Heroes, we are truly honored to have been selected as the 2026 Trailer for a Cause® beneficiary. We are excited to partner with you on this project and can’t wait to see the FT-12 Pan utility trailer come to life, representing Henry’s Heroes.”

“When our team cast their votes and Henry’s Heroes rose to the top, I wasn’t surprised. As a mother, I was moved. Some of them know firsthand how a NICU journey can turn a family’s world upside down and how unexpected contributions make an impact. The work that the Henry’s Heroes team does to ensure no family in our region has to walk that path alone is exactly the kind of cause our Trailer for a Cause tradition was built to support. We are proud to put Felling Trailers’ craftsmanship behind an organization doing such meaningful work for families right here in our own backyard,” said Brenda Jennissen, president of Felling Trailers, Inc.
Henry’s Heroes is a Central Minnesota-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families navigating the emotional and financial challenges of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) journey. Henry’s Heroes provides several forms of support to the NICU families they serve, including direct financial donations to help offset the real-world costs of a NICU stay, thoughtfully curated care packages to bring comfort and encouragement during long hospital stays, and community outreach to connect families with resources and a network of people who understand the road they are traveling. Felling Trailers is proud to support an organization that gives so holistically and generously to families in Central Minnesota.
A mid-Fall 2026 auction is being planned for the Trailer for a Cause. Leading up to the auction, Felling Trailers will collaborate with Henry’s Heroes to raise awareness about the work they do and the families and community members they serve throughout Central Minnesota and beyond.
About Henry’s Heroes
Henry’s Heroes is a Central Minnesota-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting families navigating the emotional and financial challenges of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) journey. Founded in 2023 from personal experience, our mission is simple but powerful: to walk alongside NICU families and provide direct, meaningful support when they need it most. Henry’s Heroes is named after Henry Lomheim, the miracle baby, who is the inspiration behind this nonprofit and the hospital staff (Heroes) who saved him during his 87-day NICU stay.
We understand that a NICU stay can bring unexpected stress, uncertainty, and expenses. Henry’s Heroes aims to ease that burden by offering tangible assistance and a sense of community, reminding families they are not alone during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
