Felling Trailers Helps Honor Breast Cancer Battle
A South Dakota family had a chance encounter with a pink Felling FT-3 trailer a few years after they lost their own daughter to breast cancer. Intrigued, Gerald and Darlene Dinger took down the number for Felling Trailers with the intention of purchasing their own pink trailer in memory of their daughter – Cheryl Stiegelmeier – and for use in their fundraising efforts through Relay for Life, an overnight community fundraising walk benefitting breast cancer research.
When the Dingers made the call to Felling Trailers, a sales consultant was able to get the ball rolling on a customized breast cancer trailer through Albers Sales, an authorized dealer of Felling Trailers in North Dakota. The pink Felling FT-3 features a decal of Stiegelmeier, and since its inception as a part of the family’s Relay for Life campsite, the Dingers have been asked to showcase the trailer at a number of community events including a car show.
