Great Western Leasing and Sales and Chameleon Innovations join forces to raise money and awareness for The Folds of Honor Foundation
Irvine CA — (Trailer Technician) – Great Western Leasing and Sales (Irvine, CA) and Chameleon Innovations (Pointe-Claire, Canada) have joined forces to raise money and awareness for The Folds of Honor Foundation. They will be auctioning a 2020 Fontaine Revolution flatbed trailer with Chameleon Rolling Tarp system at the Great American Trucking Show. The Great American Trucking Show will be held at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas TX from August 22nd until August 24th, 2019.
Since 2007, The Folds of Honor Foundation, a non-profit organization, has carried forth a singular, noble mission – To provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service-members.
“When planning this event, we saw the opportunity to not only sell trailers and rolling tarp systems, but also to raise money and awareness for this noble cause,” explains Mark Randall, Senior Director of Maintenance, Service and Repair at Great Western Leasing and Sales “My granddaughter was awarded a scholarship by Folds of Honor, and we saw this as an opportunity to give back so that many other families can receive support in their time of need.”
“This flatbed trailer and rolling tarp system are fully loaded and valued at over $76,500. Bids will start at $56,100 and will be taken via silent auction,” states Geordan Gay, Director of Sales & Marketing at Chameleon Innovations, “We will also be taking donations and answering questions about this wonderful foundation.”
Great Western Leasing and Sales has eight full-service trailer dealer and service locations across the USA. These locations sell and service Chameleon Innovation’s rolling tarp systems that provide flatbed trucking companies with top-class turn-key transportation solutions and service.
If you would like to donate to this cause or to bid at the silent auction, visit booth #1303 at the Great American Trucking Show. The auctioned trailer will be at the booth. Bidding will take place from Thursday August 22nd until Saturday August 24th at 1pm. The highest bidder will be announced prior to show closing on Saturday August 24th at 2pm.
