St. Christopher fund holding additional auction this month

April 14, 2025 2 min read

Through a silent auction held at the Mid-America Trucking Show, more than $13,500 was raised for the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund.

The money raised will go directly toward the St. Christopher fund’s effort to provide financial assistance for professional truck drivers in need. According to its website, the Knoxville, Tenn.-based nonprofit has provided more than $5 million in financial assistance to more than 4,000 professional drivers.

Funds were also raised through Shell Rotella’s Thank-A-Trucker recording studio event at MATS, with Love’s Travel Stops matching those donations.

“I want to extend a truckload of gratitude to the generous donors and dedicated volunteers

who made our silent auction and booth activities such a success,” said Norita Taylor, president of the St. Christopher fund and OOIDA’s director of public relations. “Your support, along with the participation of the auction winners, helped us raise the funds that will continue to fuel our mission. Thank you for being a part of something truly special.”
