One-of-a-kind commemorative plow goes to the highest bidder to support military families during annual Veterans Day auction

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 5, 2026 — Western Products, a leading manufacturer of professional-grade snow plows, is partnering with Camp Hometown Heroes to auction a one-of-a-kind America 250-themed Pusher Plow. The auction runs from November 1 through November 11, 2026, on the official WESTERN Facebook page.

Announced earlier this year at the Snow & Ice Symposium, this commemorative pusher plow combines heavy-duty performance with a historic tribute. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the auction go to Camp Hometown Heroes, a national organization providing support, recreational camps, and grief-processing programs for children who have lost a parent serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.

"We are honored to once again work with our hometown organization, Camp Hometown Heroes, to support military families," said Jeff Kopp, WESTERN Customer Connect administrator. "We're auctioning a WESTERN® PILE DRIVER™ pusher plow that is custom-wrapped, commemorating the 250 years of the United States. It gives contractors and snow-fighters a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while directly supporting the families of our nation's heroes."

This is the ninth year that WESTERN has hosted a military auction to benefit Camp Hometown Heroes. More than $110,000 has been raised for the organization.

Bidding is active now and will close at 11:11 a.m. Central Standard Time on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. This date and time is notable as the major hostilities of World War I formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, which subsequently became Armistice Day until it was renamed Veterans Day.

Interested participants can track active bids, and place their offers on Facebook. Direct donations may also be made to Camp Hometown Heroes at powerofhumans.org.
