Felling Trailers’ 2020 Trailer for a Cause online auction, set for September, will benefit the Lymphoma Research Foundation.
This is Felling Trailers Inc.’s eighth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit a non-profit organization.
Felling wants to generate awareness about lymphoma and the research funding and resources that the Lymphoma Research Foundation has to offer the people and families it affects.
To do that, Felling manufactured and painted one of its most popular trailers the signature green color for Burkitt's lymphoma that bears the Lymphoma Research Foundation emblem.
The online auction of the trailer will run for seven days: Sept. 9-15, 2020.
Several Felling suppliers have joined to support LRF through sponsorship of the trailer construction, 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. One hundred percent 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.
In the days leading up to the auction, Felling will share the stories of those touched by the many different forms of Lymphoma to help educate and drive awareness. The company will also be participating in LRF's Light It Red for Lymphoma campaign by lighting the Trailer for a Cause display red during September, as well as with other company activities throughout the month.
Light it Red for Lymphoma, is LRF's grassroots Blood Cancer Awareness Month's initiative that 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 earlier this year. He has been making strides throughout his treatment while family, friends, and coworkers have cheered 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.
The Trailer for a Cause auction will start on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 12 p.m. and run to the end Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 12 p.m., World Lymphoma Awareness Day.

The winner can make arrangements to pick up the trailer at Felling Trailers’ manufacturing facility, or to have it delivered (freight extra).
