The team at Rocklea Truck Electrical (RTE) got behind Movember last month, raising a total of $8638 for the cause.
There were nine team members who took part, helping RTE surpass its original fundraising goal of $5000.
Started in a small shared Rocklea shed in 2003, the company is now in a state-of-the-art facility in Darra, in Queensland’s south-east.
It was founded by Kim and Brock Macdonald and specialises in truck customisation including its Sleeper Air systems designed specifically for Australian conditions, as well as manufacturing and fitting chrome truck accessories, lighting, starters, alternators, spare parts and more.
The site includes 14 permanent bays, five service bays and parking for over a dozen more trucks.
RTE’s Georgie Lee said Brock had wanted to get involved with fundraising for Movember, so organised a special event to kick-start it.
“It’s just such a great cause to get behind for men’s mental and physical health,” she said.
RTE held a race day at Doomben Racecourse in Brisbane on November 9, where they organised a punter’s club. Those who backed a winner could choose to take the winnings or donate it to RTE’s Movember fundraiser. “But most chose to donate,” added Georgie.
