Felling Trailers will be moving into its sixth year of hosting its annual Trailer for a Cause online auction of an FT-3 Utility trailer to benefit a non-profit organization. Felling Trailers' goal is to bring awareness to various non-profits that are making a difference by donating 100 percent of the winning bid from the auction to a different non-profit each year. In past years, the Trailer for a Cause auctions have raised more than $14,000. The money raised has gone to benefit organizations such as: Bright Pink — Breast Cancer; PANCAN — Pancreatic Cancer; ACTonALZ — Alzheimer's; ABTA — American Brain Tumor Association; and SOMN — Special Olympics Minnesota.

Felling Trailers Inc. has selected MOCA (Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance) as the 2018 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary.

"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 in their favor," said Brenda Jennissen, president/CEO of Felling Trailers.

The 2018 Trailer for a Cause will be painted MOCA's signature teal color and will display the MOCA emblem.

A fall 2018 auction is being planned for the Trailer for a Cause. Leading up to the auction, Felling Trailers will be working with MOCA to generate awareness about ovarian cancer along with the resources that MOCA has to offer to those affected by it. Ovarian cancer accounts for approximately three percent of cancers in women, but it is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death among women.

MOCA's Mission:

• To create an awareness about early warning signs that may be indicative of ovarian cancer.
• To create and promote resources for support, networking and education for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer and their families.
• To unite and educate individuals, the medical community and organizations to achieve earlier diagnosis, better treatment and a cure for ovarian cancer.
• To advance ovarian cancer research toward earlier diagnosis, better treatment and a cure.
