JCB announced October 29 that bidding on a custom-painted Teleskid construction machine benefiting Joe Walsh’s VetsAid charity will open November 10.
The online auction will be hosted by equipment auctioneer bidadoo and accept participants worldwide, according to JCB. Proceeds are designated for VetsAid, the nonprofit Walsh founded to support veterans and their families.
The 3TS-8T machine carries Walsh’s signature and that of JCB Chairman Lord Bamford. Artist Jim McShea, known for painting Monster Jam vehicles, created its aircraft-inspired design.
The winning package also includes two tickets in JCB’s VIP section at the January 29, 2027, VetsAid concert in Las Vegas, a signed crew shirt and a VIP suite experience at a North American Monster Jam event during 2027.
JCB described the auction as part of its effort toward a $1 million pledge to VetsAid. The announcement does not establish that the pledge has been fulfilled or identify an auction sale price.
Thursday’s news sets the auction’s opening date and package. Bidding has not yet begun, and the amount raised remains undetermined.
