We believe in caring for drivers. Recently, DAT’s Masters of Freight charity poker tournament brought industry leaders together for a night of fun and fundraising.
Winning the tournament came with a $10,000 prize, and Mike Crawford, ITS Logistic’s Chief Operating Officer, took his time to choose the perfect recipient. Mike was impressed with St. Christopher’s Trucker Relief Fund and donated the prize to them.
About St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund
St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund is a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to assisting over-the-road semi-truck drivers who are unable to work due to illness or injury. The organization provides financial aid for essential household expenses such as rent, mortgage, utilities, vehicle payments, and insurance. In the first quarter of 2024 alone, they provided over $75,000 in assistance to 47 drivers, directly covering their bills for essential expenses.
Doubling the impact
ITS Logistics decided to match the amount, resulting in a total donation of $20,000 to the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund.
Mike expressed his appreciation for DAT’s event, saying, “DAT always puts on a good event, and this was an amazing opportunity for us to come together and get behind such a great organization that directly supports truck drivers, the lifeblood of our industry. We’re proud to give this donation to St. Christopher’s and match the contribution.”
We appreciate ITS Logistics and Mike Crawford for their participation and generosity, and to St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund for the incredible work they do to support our truck drivers. We look forward to continuing this partnership and supporting the backbone of our economy — our truck drivers.
