“I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would help Toyota auction off a Tundra for $550,000!” says Verfuerth.
“These funds will go directly to help Paralympic athletes train, have proper equipment and have access to the best coaching.
“This type of support is life-changing, and I cannot thank Toyota enough for helping me go more places than I’ve ever imagined.”
The auction-winning Toyota pickup trucks will be delivered to each winning bidder in spring of 2022, along with a Toyota-hosted trip for two to Park City, Utah. The winning bidders will also get a signed Tundra engine cover, and Tundra exterior designers.
