PACCAR Employees Raise Money for Cancer Research
 
More than 30 PACCAR employees organized into four teams took part in a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society (ACS) in March. The event, Hope on the Slopes, challenged skiers and snowboarders to cover as many vertical feet as they could in a 24-hour period to raise money for cancer research. Two Kenworth teams, Keep on Truckin’ and Trucking for the Cure, and an ITD team, Moxie, participated in the event at Stevens Pass in Washington state. Another ITD team, The Pirates of Pigtail Peak, participated in the event at Washington’s White Pass.

The two Kenworth teams surpassed their goal and together raised more than $14,700. Team members skied more than one million vertical feet. Keep on Truckin’ was awarded a secondplace medal for raising $11,074, and Trucking for the Cure member Jake Ferderer, safety and compliance engineer at Kenworth Division, received a first-place medal as the skier with the most vertical feet: 160,000. The ITD team, The Pirates of Pigtail Peak, was the No. 1 fundraising team at White Pass, with $28,500.

The four PACCAR teams contributed more than $50,600 of the over $159,600 raised for ACS during Hope on the Slopes.

PACCAR’s Truck Donation Aids Life-Saving Efforts

PACCAR Foundation Helps Organization Feed the Hungry
 
The PACCAR Foundation donated $250,000 to Northwest Harvest for a new 94,000-square-foot warehouse in Kent, Wash. Northwest Harvest is the only statewide hunger-relief agency in Washington state. The retrofit warehouse will increase storage capacity, improve freeway access, enhance food distribution and be safer for volunteers.

Founded in 1967, Northwest Harvest relies on donations to collect about 18 million pounds of food per year in order to supply more than 300 partner programs in 37 of Washington’s
39 counties.

Our modern warehouse is revolutionary for this agency,” said Shelley Rotondo, Northwest Harvest executive director.“Our clients will reap the benefits. We’re grateful to all our supporters and contributors for making this warehouse a reality.”

The agency also uses a fleet of Kenworth trucks to distribute the food. “Transportation is one of the biggest challenges Northwest Harvest faces,” Shelley Rotondo said. “As a statewide hunger-relief agency, we depend on PACCAR’s reliable Kenworth trucks to get food to the hungry. Our partner programs depend on these deliveries — thanks to PACCAR, we don’t let them down.”
