Special skid-steer auctioned for charity

A special gold-painted Bobcat S175 skid-steer loader will be auctioned later this year to Bobcat dealers in the Middle East, Europe and Africa to raise funds for the ‘Schools for Africa" campaign by UNICEF.

A second Bobcat S175loader named "Heart of Gold" will be put on permanent display at the reception area of the Bobcat plant at Dobris in the Czech Republic.

To emphasize the link with the children being helped by UNICEF, the auction of the golden loader is timed to close the day before St Nicholas' Day. The dealer winning the auction will be invited to come to the firm's office in Brussels a week later, on Saturday 13th December 2008, at the annual Bobcat Christmas party to hand over a cheque for the winning bid to a representative of the charity.

Lee Harrison, Strategic Development Director of Bobcat EMEA, visited a ‘Schools for Africa' project in Mozambique earlier this year. He said: "As part of our 3-year collaboration with UNICEF, we are delighted to auction this special 50th anniversary golden loader to raise funds for its work in Africa.

Our partnership with the charity reflects our commitment to support the development of communities around the world, particularly the most important people in those communities, the children.
