Benefit auction item ideas follow-up: Heavy equipment academy

Benefit auction idea: Heavy Equipment Training

I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the Heavy Equipment Training Academy as I was driving through Washington, D.C. yesterday

Recent blog readers might be wondering what I’m referring to. A few weeks ago, I covered some benefit auction item ideas. I suggested that one possible item could be a bulldozer training lesson. What a fun item for men and adventurous women! 

Here’s the blog post.

It could be a nice fit for a school auction, in particular.

During my drive, I paid better attention and noticed that the Academy is adjacent and across the street from an elementary school. I bet the boys at the school love to watch the equipment operators at work during recess.

I know that my brother loved to play with his Tonka trucks in the sandbox as a kid. And coincidentally my Dad was involved in operating some of those pieces of equipment through his business, so my brother’s friends thought Dad was da’ bomb.
