Felling Trailers Will Light It Red and Paint It Green for Lymphoma Awareness

Dates are set for the 2020 Trailer for a Cause auction, benefitting the Lymphoma Research Foundation

Felling Trailers Will Light It Red and Paint It Green for Lymphoma Awareness

Felling Trailers is conducting its eighth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop-deck utility trailer to benefit a nonprofit organization. Lymphoma Research Foundation is the 2020 recipient. 

Felling wants to generate awareness about lymphoma and the research funding and resources that the Lymphoma Research Foundation has to offer those individuals and families it affects. Thus, Felling manufactured and painted one of its most popular trailers the signature green color for Burkitt's lymphoma. 

The online auction of the trailer will run for seven days: Sept. 9th through Sept. 15th. Several of Felling's suppliers have joined in to support the Lymphoma Research Foundation through sponsorship of the trailer build, from lighting to tires and 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 and 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 the Lymphoma Research Foundation's Light it Red for Lymphoma by lighting the Trailer for a Cause display red during September, along with other company activities throughout the month. Light it Red for Lymphoma is the Lymphoma Research Foundation's grassroots Blood Cancer Awareness Month initiative that brings awareness at a local, national and global level by lighting 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 in the first part of this year. He has been making positive strides throughout his treatment journey, all while his family, friends and co-workers have cheered him on. He is their Warrior, and all of those who 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 noon and run for seven days until Tuesday, Sept. 15 at noon — which is World Lymphoma Awareness Day. The online auction can be viewed on the Felling website. Arrangements will be made for pickup at Felling’s manufacturing facility or delivery (freight extra).
