Pink-Belt, the 15.2-metric-ton Link-Belt 145 X4 excavator that traveled the United States for the past year to support breast cancer awareness, has been sold to the highest bidder, Randy Gallegos of Rasmussen Equipment. Pink-Belt was auctioned at ConExpo 2026 on Thursday, March 5, raising a grand total of $220,000 for the cause.
Pink-Belt is embarking on a nationwide journey to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support and research. Traveling to participating dealers across the country, the tour will feature special events, open houses, and displays. The journey will culminate at ConExpo in Las Vegas in March 2026, where Pink-Belt will be auctioned, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the National Breast Cancer Foundation and CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundation’s Yes, Mamm! program.
NBCF’s mission is to help women now by providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education and support services. NBCF offers free, innovative programs that other organizations aren’t providing to women facing breast cancer so that no one faces breast cancer alone.
CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations created the Yes, Mamm! program to increase access to lifesaving mammography screenings, diagnostics and travel assistance at no cost to individuals in Kentucky that are underinsured and/or underserved. More than 500 Kentuckians will benefit from the program this year alone. The ultimate goal is to increase early detection and grow life expectancy while providing healing, hope and wellness to all.
