Pink-Belt, the 15.2-metric-ton Link-Belt 145 X4 excavator that travelled across the U.S. for the past year to support breast cancer awareness, has been sold to Randy Gallegos of Rasmussen Equipment. Pink-Belt was auctioned at CONEXPO 2026 raising a grand total of $220,000 for the cause.
100 percent of the Pink-Belt auction proceeds benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation and Yes, Mamm! by CHI Saint Joseph Health Foundations.
"Reuniting for the LBX tour campaign and the Pink Belt auction at CONEXPO has been incredibly meaningful. The support shown by the LBX team and their customers highlights the power of a community coming together for an important cause. We look forward to continuing this partnership and the lives that will be impacted through LBX's support of our life-saving programs and mission of Helping Women Now." -Emily Millender, Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships at National Breast Cancer Foundation.
The cause received a further $2,000 boost thanks to Jade Shank, who won the auction for the Pink-Belt Scale Model Prize package.
