Felling Trailers’ online auction of one of its most popular trailers to bring awareness and support of pancreatic cancer research raised $3,400. Felling Trailers manufactured and painted an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer metallic purple and auctioned it on eBay for 10 days during the month of September. Tredit Tire generously donated the wheels and Midwest Industrial Coatings, Inc. donated the custom metallic purple paint for this trailer and cause. 

Alan Zatik of ABC Equipment located in Ohio was the winning bidder of the trailer. One hundred percent of the $3,400 winning bid was donated to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. 

Going forward, for each Felling Trailer ordered with the custom metallic purple color option, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will receive 100 percent of the custom color proceeds. A minimum of $200 from each custom color option fee will be donated to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
