Canton-based Humboldt Storage & Moving Invites You To Pull a Truck October 22

Canton, Mass- Humboldt Storage and Moving, based in Canton will hold their sixth annual Truck Pull to benefit Special Olympics Massachusetts on October 22. The charitable event, held at the Irish Cultural Centre based in Canton will give willing participants the chance to pull a number of heavy vehicles all in an effort to raise money for the worthy sports organization.

The fundraiser for Special Olympics Massachusetts brings teams of 10 individuals together for a chance to pull a number of heavy vehicles including a full-size moving van, box truck and even a fire engine all to raise important funds for the athletes of Special Olympics. The event will start at 9:00am and run until approximately 12:00pm at the Irish Cultural Centre located at 200 New Boston Drive in Canton.

To register for the Humboldt Truck Pull, individuals can log on to the event website at: www.humboldttruckpull.com

How it works: Each team can have a maximum of 10 participants and a minimum entry fee of $1,000 is required for each team. Lunch, beverages and an event t-shirt are all included. Individuals not with a team can also register and can join a team the day of the event.

Each team will have to pull all vehicles, working their way up according to the weight of each vehicle. The team will need to pull all vehicles as fast as they can for 25 feet and the cumulative total with the lowest combined time will win the event.

The Humboldt Truck Pull has been held in Boston for the past five years. In that time, over $75,000 has been raised for the health and sports programs of Special Olympics Massachusetts. Those entering teams include police, fitness enthusiasts, corporate teams as well as other moving companies in Boston.

This year’s event will also include a family-friendly “Touch a Truck” event that will include a whole host of emergency vehicles that children of all ages can explore. And the Irish Cultural Centre will be serving up traditional Irish food and beverages.

“Special Olympics runs a very important program here in Massachusetts and we are honored once again to be raising money for these athletes,” states James Sullivan, president of Humboldt Storage and Moving. “Anyone who feels they can put a team together and pull a few trucks will be welcome here at this event.”
