FREMONT, Calif. — In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation (RHCC) held its first-ever online charity auction, which netted $4,500 for two breast cancer charities.

RHCC — a provider of material handling equipment and integrated solutions serving the West Coast and an authorized sales and service center for The Raymond Corporation — auctioned a custom pink-painted Raymond® Model 102XM walkie hand pallet truck. The charity auction, dubbed the “pink pallet jack project,” will be held on an annual basis.

The winning bidder was John Souza, principal at J&K Trucking in Pleasanton, California.

“Breast cancer has touched the lives of many employees and customers of J&K Trucking. Through the purchase of the pink lift truck, our company will showcase its support for breast cancer awareness each and every day,” Souza said.

All proceeds from the auction benefited the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation of Fremont and The Community Foundation for South Central New York, a partner of the Tina Turner Memorial Golf Classic in Greene, New York.
