Felling Trailers, Inc. has announced Ivy’s Legacy Foundation as the beneficiary of the 13th annual 2025 Trailer for a Cause auction. This time-honored tradition involves auctioning a custom FT-3 Utility trailer online, with 100% of the winning bid donated to the selected nonprofit organization.
Over the past 13 years, Felling Trailers’ Trailer for a Cause auction has raised more than $51,000 for nonprofit organizations, including ACT on ALZ-Alzheimer’s, Lymphoma Research Foundation, Minnesota Fire Fighters Foundation, Eagle’s Healing Nest, and Backing the Blue. Felling Trailers’ goal is to raise awareness about various nonprofits making a difference while supporting their vital work.
The 2025 Trailer for a Cause auction beneficiary, Ivy’s Legacy Foundation, was selected by the Felling Trailers’ employees in the form of a vote. Team members cast their votes for the organization of their choice in late spring this year. When the last of the votes were tallied, Ivy’s Legacy Foundation held the popular vote. “It is absolutely amazing to be the selected organization; we feel very honored,” stated Nicki Vogt, founder of Ivy’s Legacy Foundation. “Ivy’s Legacy Foundation has been assisting families in Central Minnesota for over a decade. As it celebrated its tenth year of helping families in need a few months ago, we are honored to acknowledge that this organization has also supported members of our team and their friends and extended families. It’s comforting to know local organizations like Ivy’s Legacy Foundation exist to step up when tribulations present themselves,” said Brenda Jennissen, president of Felling Trailers, Inc.
Ivy’s Legacy Foundation is a Sauk Centre, MN-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families who have fallen on hard times. The foundation provides various forms of assistance, including financial support for medical bills and funeral expenses, grieving baskets for parents who’ve lost a baby, chemo baskets for cancer patients, and memorial services. As a 100% volunteer-run organization, Ivy’s Legacy Foundation has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for families throughout Central Minnesota and beyond. “We understand that life can bring unexpected challenges and struggles. We hope that, through donations, we can extend our roots of love and branches of hope to even more families in our area who really need it,” stated Vogt.
A late Fall 2025 auction is being planned for Trailer for a Cause. Leading up to the auction, Felling Trailers will collaborate with Ivy’s Legacy Foundation to raise awareness about the work they do and the families and community members they serve throughout Central Minnesota and beyond.
