The Environmental Research and Education Foundation (EREF), Raleigh, North Carolina has announced that this year’s 22nd EREF Annual Charitable Auction will mark the 20th year that Mack Trucks, Greensboro, North Carolina, has donated to the EREF Live Auction.

The EREF Annual Charitable Auction, the foundation’s largest fundraiser, is held annually at WasteExpo to help EREF further its mission to fund and direct research and educational initiatives for waste management practices. The auction has raised more than $16 million for the foundation and is made possible through the donations of waste industry members.

For 20 years Mack has maintained a long-standing commitment to supporting EREF and its mission to further research and education for the waste industry, says the foundation.

“We at Mack are proud to help support EREF in any way we can because its research and scholars are making groundbreaking strides for this industry,” says Curtis Dorwart, Mack refuse product manager and vice chairman of the EREF Auction Committee.

Dorwart has played an integral role in supporting EREF and will continue to do so by soon serving as chair of the 2017 EREF Auction Committee. “Curtis has consistently shown his passion and commitment to the foundation and its mission by donating to the auction for the past 20 years,” says Bryan Staley, EREF president and CEO. “We are excited to have him take on this new role and, on behalf of the EREF Board of Directors, would like to thank Mack Trucks for its continued support of EREF.”
