Western Products, renowned for its high-performance snow plows, is hosting a charity auction in partnership with Camp Hometown Heroes. This one-of-a-kind auction features a specially designed Pusher Plow, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States. From November 1 to November 11, 2026, bids can be placed via the official WESTERN Facebook page.
The project's announcement was made earlier this year during the Snow and Ice Symposium, where the distinctive Pusher Plow was showcased as a blend of robust performance and historical significance. All proceeds from the auction will directly support Camp Hometown Heroes, a national organization dedicated to providing resources and recreational opportunities for children who have lost a parent in military service.
The auction reflects the ongoing commitment of Western Products to assist military families, a partnership highlighted by Jeff Kopp, the WESTERN Customer Connect administrator, who expressed the company's honor in supporting such a noble cause. The plow for auction is a custom-wrapped variant of the WESTERN® PILE DRIVER™, proudly highlighting 250 years of American history. Its uniqueness offers contractors and snow removal professionals a rare chance to acquire a piece of history while aiding families of fallen service members.
This year is significant as it marks the ninth consecutive year Western Products has organized a military charity auction for Camp Hometown Heroes. Over the years, the initiative has successfully raised more than $110,000 to support its activities and programs. Bidding will close at 11:11 AM Central Time on November 11, 2026, a date that holds profound importance as it commemorates the end of World War I and honors veterans across the nation.
Participants looking to join the auction can track their bids on Facebook or opt for direct donations to Camp Hometown Heroes via
