A silent auction during a recent major trucking show raised thousands of dollars for a non-profit organization that aids truckers in need.
The St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund (SCF) said its event during the 2025 Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Kentucky raised $13,500.
“I want to extend a truckload of gratitude to the generous donors and dedicated volunteers who made our silent auction and booth activities such a success. Your support, along with the participation of the auction winners, helped us raise the funds that will continue to fuel our mission. Thank you for being a part of something truly special,” said Norita Taylor, SCF president.
SCF also thanks AMBEST for sponsoring the SCF booth. Konexial, Sapp Brothers, RoadPro, OOIDA, Grinds, and Progressive all donated prizes for the SCF spin-the-wheel.
TravelCenters of America raised $1,356 for the SCF with their own prize wheel as well. Shell Rotella hosted a Thank-A-Trucker recording studio event at the show and graciously donated $20 per recording. Love’s Travel Centers matched the recording donations for a total $2,880 donation.
SCF also thanks the following volunteers that helped with the auction: Elisabeth Barna, Norita Taylor, Rob Duda, Conrad Lenckos, Shannon O’Neal, Grover, Kevin Burch, Steve and Gina Jones, Wayne and Kandy Crowder, the KY Road Team, Grover Nelson, and Mark Elrod.
