Felling Trailers selects Trailer for a Cause beneficiary
Felling Trailers selected Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance as the 2018 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary. The company hosts its annual Trailer for a Cause online auction of an FT-3 Utility trailer to benefit a nonprofit organization. Felling Trailers donates 100 percent of the winning bid to a different nonprofit each year. The auction tentatively begins Sept. 15.

“In past years, we would meet as a family and select the benefitting organization. This year, we put that decision in the hands of our employees. A list of organizations was given to employees to select from, and once the votes were tallied, MOCA had received the most votes,” says Brenda Jennissen, president and CEO of Felling Trailers.
