Trailer Bridge Recognized with TMSA Purpose Award for Rally Initiative

Trailer Bridge has been named one of five recipients of the 2026 Purpose Award by the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association (TMSA), an honor recognizing companies that go beyond their day-to-day responsibilities to make a meaningful impact.

The Purpose Award celebrates organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to giving back, whether through community engagement, industry advancement, or environmental stewardship. Trailer Bridge was recognized for its Rally initiative, a purpose-driven initiative that brings together partners across the transportation and logistics industry to support causes that improve the lives of children.

At the center of Rally are two signature charity golf tournaments: Rally por Puerto Rico and Rally for Kate. Together, these events have become more than annual gatherings. They create an opportunity for industry partners to come together for a shared purpose. Over the past 18 months alone, Rally has raised $370,000 for nonprofit organizations, supporting housing stability in Puerto Rico and pediatric cancer research.

Since its inception, the initiative has generated more than $850,000 in total contributions, helping fund the construction and repair of homes for families in Puerto Rico and advancing critical pediatric cancer research.

Rally is intentionally designed to be relationship driven. Each tournament is limited to 88 players, a deliberate decision that creates a more intimate experience and allows for meaningful connection among customers, partners, and employees. The focus is not just on fundraising, but on building lasting relationships while supporting important causes.

The initiative reflects Trailer Bridge’s belief that business can be a platform for impact. Through strong partnerships with organizations like Habitat for Humanity of Puerto Rico and the Kate Amato Foundation, along with the ongoing involvement of employees and industry partners, Rally continues to deliver measurable outcomes for the communities it supports.

“This recognition is incredibly meaningful because it reflects the collective effort of our employees, partners, and customers who continue to support these causes,” said Whitney Ennis, Vice President of Marketing at Trailer Bridge. “Rally was built on the idea that our industry can come together to make a real difference, and this award reinforces what is possible when we do.”

Trailer Bridge joins fellow 2026 Purpose Award recipients Fleet Advantage, Jarrett, SMC3, and Hermann Companies, each recognized for their contributions to driving positive change across the transportation and logistics industry.

"The quality and range of submissions this year was truly remarkable," said Jennifer Karpus-Romain, TMSA Executive Director. "These five companies demonstrate what's possible when business is guided by purpose. From truck-fueled toy drives and benefit concerts to collaborative sustainability forums, their work is creating real change and inspiring the entire transportation and logistics community to lead with heart and intention."
