Link-Belt Excavator Company recently hosted an event to honour individuals and organizations supporting breast cancer awareness. The company's Pink-Belt machine, a 15.2-tonne excavator that travelled across the United States for a year, was auctioned off at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026. The sale raised $220,000 for the cause.
The Pink-Belt machine was part of a larger fundraising effort by Link-Belt Excavator Company to support breast cancer awareness. The company's commitment to this cause is a testament to its values and dedication to making a positive impact on the communities it serves.
The auction of the Pink-Belt machine at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 was a significant milestone in the fundraising effort. The event brought together industry professionals, employees, and community members who shared a common goal: to support breast cancer awareness and research.
In addition to the $220,000 raised from the auction, Link-Belt Excavator Company made additional contributions to the cause. A $2,000 donation was received from Jade Shank, while Jay Shafer of Shafer Equipment Company contributed $10,000.
The impact of this fundraising effort cannot be overstated. The funds raised will support programs that provide early detection and awareness initiatives, as well as research into new treatments and cures for breast cancer.
Rasmussen Equipment, the company that purchased the Pink-Belt machine, has a strong commitment to supporting breast cancer awareness. 'Breast cancer awareness and the search for a cure are causes that are deeply important to Rasmussen Equipment,' said Randy Gallegos, the company's representative.
The presentation of cheques to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Yes, Mamm! Program of Saint Joseph Health Foundation was a poignant moment in the fundraising effort. It symbolized Link-Bet Excavator Company's unwavering commitment to supporting breast cancer awareness and research.
This event highlights the power of corporate philanthropy in driving positive change. By partnering with organizations like the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Yes, Mamm! Program, Link-Belt Excavator Company is making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
The impact of corporate philanthropy on breast cancer awareness and research cannot be overstated.
