-A creative fundraiser resulted in an auction for a pink boom truck and crane, and a $205,000 donation to Marshfield Clinic for breast cancer research.Marshfield-based V&H Trucks, Inc., has supported the Clinic's cancer research for more than 35 years. Tim Wolf, general sales manager at V&H, said the company used its expertise in fabricating construction vehicles to support the Marshfield Clinic Research Fund and the important work of diagnosing and treating cancer.
The boom truck was exclusively designed by V&H Trucks and has an estimated value of more than $312,000. V&H and Baltimore-based Fascan International, the U.S. distributor of Fassi articulating cranes, auctioned the one-of-a-kind "Reaching for a Cure" pink boom truck April 29 during the 2015 Intex Expo in Long Beach, California.
Gypsum Management and Supply (GMS), based in Tucker, Georgia, offered the more than $500,000 winning bid. The $205,000 donation will be put in the Clinic's Breast Cancer Research Fund until Clinic leaders designate it for specific research projects.
