Chalmers Industries recently purchased a $55,000 tri-axle Skel semitrailer, donated by O’Phee Trailers, in a charity auction to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.
The auction was held as part of the Annual Commercial Vehicle Industry Association of Queensland (CVIAQ) President’s Charity Dinner on 1 March 2008. On the night, the CVIAQ raised $112,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation through two silent auctions, a Charity Truck Fundraising Wall, and the main auction, which included the O’Phee semi-trailer.
