Felling Trailers Announces 2024 Trailer for a Cause Auction Dates
Felling Trailers, Inc. is hosting its 12th annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to support a nonprofit organization. The 2024 beneficiary is Backing the Blue Line, an organization dedicated to supporting the law enforcement community. The goal is to raise awareness about the valuable work that Backing the Blue Line does for officers and their families through their various programs and support services. This organization is entirely run by volunteers.
Felling Trailers has manufactured and painted a custom grey trailer with a blue line and the Backing the Blue Line emblem. The online auction will run for nine days, from September 2 through September 11. Various suppliers of Felling Trailers have joined in to support Backing the Blue Line by sponsoring the construction of the trailer, from lighting to tires to decking. The 2024 Trailer for a Cause sponsors are Trans-Texas, PPG, Dexter, Sealco, Peterson, Industrial Wood (Blackwood), Demco and Pacific Rim. The full winning bid amount will go directly to Backing the Blue Line.
Backing the Blue Line (BtBL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the law enforcement community in Minnesota. BtBL unites the power of members and the generosity of donors to honor and support Minnesota law enforcement officers and families; they mobilize to provide services, labor, and assistance during times of illness, injury or tragedy, as well as join in celebrating life milestones.
"We want the Minnesota law enforcement community to know that they are not alone – that can range from celebrating the birth of an officer’s child to supporting a family who’s loved one has made the ultimate sacrifice. We hope to bridge the gap and provide assistance that officers may not be able to get elsewhere," said Bethany Danner, President of BtBL.
Law enforcement families live a unique lifestyle. Jennifer Whiteford, the founder of the group, recognized a need for wives to be able to share their experiences with each other.
“Speaking with a Minnesota National Guardsman and State Law Enforcement officer’s widow, it was evident the significant support Backing the Blue Line provided her and their son. We want to be loud about the important work they are performing, bringing solace and support none of us non-law enforcement families can measure up to in those deep times of indescribable pain and despair,” stated Brenda Jennissen, Felling Trailers CEO.
The Trailer for a Cause auction will start at noon on Monday, Sept. 2, and run for nine days, ending Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 6 p.m. The online auction can be viewed at https://www.felling.com/our-company/trailer-for-a-cause/. Arrangements must be made for pick up at Felling Trailers' manufacturing facility or delivery (freight extra).
