Raymond West raised $19K to fight against breast cancer

Raymond West Intralogistics Solutions champions breast cancer support with successful auction

In a remarkable demonstration of solidarity in the fight against breast cancer, Raymond West Intralogistics Solutions has successfully raised $19,000 through its eleventh annual Pink Pallet Jack Project online auction. The funds will provide crucial assistance to patients undergoing breast cancer treatment and recovery.

Between October 23 and 30, 2024, three custom pink Raymond 8210 powered pallet jacks were auctioned, with proceeds equally benefiting the Tina Fund of New York, Northwest Hope and Healing in Seattle, and Breast Cancer Angels in Huntington Beach, California. The winning bids were placed by transportation companies J&K Trucking and Prism Logistics, whose contributions will help fund both physical and financial support for breast cancer patients.

Since its inception, Raymond’s Pink Pallet Jack Project has raised more than $200,000 for these charities. Each year, the project gains more visibility, inspiring further support from industry partners and community members who share a commitment to helping those impacted by breast cancer.

The Raymond® 8210 powered pallet jack, renowned for its superior maneuverability, is designed to navigate tight spaces effortlessly. It is an ideal solution for congested store aisles, active loading docks, trailers, and other constrained areas. Each of the auctioned pallet trucks featured Raymond’s exclusive Click2Creep™ design, which automatically reduces travel speed in confined spaces to allow for safer, more precise turns.
