2021 Everyday Heroes Truck brings in TAT’s largest donation ever
(L to R): Don Blake and Greg Evigan, star of BJ and the Bear, take a glamour shot with the Everyday Heroes Truck.
Ritchie Bros. auctioned off the third Everyday Heroes Truck from Inland Kenworth on Dec. 10 for $260,000 to Sergei Kodryanu, CEO of Freestyle Transport in Vancouver, Washington, with proceeds benefiting Truckers Against Trafficking. With addi- tional truck sponsor donations, TAT will receive a check for over $300,000, the largest single donation in its history.
“The Everyday Heroes Kenworth T680 Next Gen auction was a fantastic success, thanks to Freestyle Transport and our incredible sponsors, who generously donated parts and money to build this special truck,” said Don Blake, new truck sales manager at Inland Kenworth – Phoenix, TAT board member, and driving force behind this year’s auction. “Our goal was to build off the success from the previous two Everyday Heroes Kenworth trucks sold at auction by generating a larger donation to TAT than ever before. We were able to do just that, thanks to heightened interest in the new Kenworth T680 Next Gen and Greg Evigan’s involvement in promoting TAT and this auction.”
