Raymond Hosts Third Pink Pallet Jack Project Auction

Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation (RHCC), a material handling equipment supplier in Northern California and the Northwest, recently held its third annual “Pink Pallet Jack Project” online auction in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. John Souza, of J and K Trucking, placed the winning bid of $4,000 for Raymond’s pink 8210 Electric Pallet Truck.

All proceeds raised from this year’s auction will benefit the Tina Fund in Greene, New York and the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation in Fremont, California. The pallet jack is ideal for retail store, wholesale delivery and food processing applications that require more precise maneuverability in tight and/or congested areas.

“Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation has received remarkable support for our annual Pink Pallet Jack Project in the previous two years from our employees, customers, partners and local communities,” said Steve Raymond, president.

“Altogether, Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation was able to raise approximately $9,000 to benefit two worthy breast cancer charities. We are thrilled to see our Pink Pallet Jack Project’s continued success in uniting our network and communities together in the support of finding a cure. Since 2014, we have raised more than $120,000 for charity, a large portion of this amount coming from the Pink Pallet Jack Project.”

Raymond Handling Concepts began its fundraising efforts early this year with its first “Beat Breast Cancer” rummage sale held in August at its offices in Auburn, Washington, where additional funds were raised for the Tina Fund and HERS Breast Cancer Foundation. Since 2014, Raymond Handling Concepts Corporation has raised more than $109,000 for charity, a large portion of this amount coming from the Pink Pallet Jack Project.

John Souza, of J and K Trucking, placed the winning bid of $4,000 for Raymond’s pink 8210 Electric Pallet Truck.

In addition to the auction, RHCC hosted a community open house and raffle at its Fremont, California facility. Several vendor partners attended and supported the event by donating items to the raffle including Vestil who donated a hand pallet jack painted pink and Abacus who contributed a number of premium golf bags. Also in attendance were 70 guests from the local communities including Tesla, Sysco, and Core-Mark, and Lilly Mae, Vice Mayor of Fremont, who wrote a personal check donated to the HERS foundation.
