Foose, RealTruck Build Sold for Charity at Barrett-Jackson

A 2021 Ford F-150 built through a partnership between Chip Foose and RealTruck earned $150,000 for charity at last week’s Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction.

The money raised was donated to Foose’s personally selected charity, The Progeria Research Foundation. It’s a cause close to his heart as his sister was diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome at a young age.

“We are humbled to once again participate at Barrett-Jackson and proud to have worked with the automotive mastermind to bring this truck to life in support of an organization that is committed to finding treatments and a cure for Progeria,” said Lee Riser, RealTruck Inc. vice president of marketing. “Giving back is in our DNA, and our collaborations are a testament to supporting incredible organizations while building fun and exciting one-of-a-kind trucks for the road.”

Built by Foose Design and originally unveiled at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the F-150 blends innovation with Foose’s signature design and RealTruck’s lifestyle, outfitted in premium RealTruck parts and accessories including a RealTruck traction recovery winch, a Rugged Ridge traction recovery kit, RealTruck Go Rhino rear and front bumpers, Husky Liners RVL fender flares and more.

“I want to thank everyone involved for making this F-150 come to life and RealTruck’s generosity in donating 100% of the sale in support of finding treatments and the cure for Progeria,” said Foose. “I love what I do, and seeing the proceeds of the truck go to a philanthropic cause means so much to me.”

Audrey Gordon, president and executive director of The Progeria Research Foundation, said the organization was “beyond grateful for the donation.”
