100% of the Sale Benefits Progeria Research Foundation
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 24, 2025 – Automotive designer and artist Chip Foose adds a one-of-a-kind truck to his car custom portfolio with the RealTruck outfitted 2021 F-150 that crossed the block on Jan. 23 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The truck raised $150,000 to benefit Foose’s personally selected charity – The Progeria Research Foundation – a cause close to Foose’s heart as his sister was diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome at a young age.
“We are humbled to once again participate at Barrett-Jackson and proud to have worked with the automotive mastermind to bring this truck to life in support of an organization that is committed to finding treatments and a cure for Progeria,” said RealTruck Inc. Vice President of Marketing Lee Riser. “Giving back is in our DNA and our collaborations are a testament to supporting incredible organizations while building fun and exciting one-of-a-kind trucks for the road.”
Built by Foose Design and originally unveiled at the 2024 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in Las Vegas, the F-150 blends innovation with Foose’s signature design and RealTruck’s lifestyle, outfitted in premium RealTruck parts and accessories including a RealTruck Traction Recovery Winch, a Rugged Ridge Traction Recovery Kit, RealTruck Go Rhino Rear and Front Bumpers, Husky Liners RVL Fender Flares, and more.
“I want to thank everyone involved for making this F-150 come to life and RealTruck’s generosity in donating 100% of the sale in support of finding treatments and the cure for Progeria,” said Chip Foose. “I love what I do and seeing the proceeds of the truck go to a philanthropic cause means so much to me.”
“On behalf of the foundation, we want to thank everyone for the support in bringing awareness and raising funds as we work towards a cure for Progeria,” said Audrey Gordon, President and Executive Director of The Progeria Research Foundation. “As the chosen charity of choice, we are beyond grateful for the donation.”
