Cintas Helps Raise Over $60,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Campaign
CINCINNATI – Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) once again supported the American Cancer Society and its Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign in October. Cintas and its partners helped raise a grand total of $64,552 for this year’s campaign and had 35 teams and 200 partners participate at 26 different Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events across the country.
“The American Cancer Society would not be able to do our work without partners like Cintas,” said Lenora Oeters, Vice President of the American Cancer Society’s Ohio/West Virginia region. “It’s not just about the money raised by Cintas and its partners, but the energy, enthusiasm and hope that they have provided to cancer patients and their families.”
Cintas supported the campaign in a multitude of ways, including a company-wide apparel sale, the Corporate READY™ to Fight Cancer Silent Auction, and participating in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks.
“We are so proud to support the American Cancer Society and their mission to end breast cancer,” said Crystal Hooper, Philanthropy & Community Relations Specialist. “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is such a great collaboration and collection of people who want to support those impacted by breast cancer.”
Every dollar raised for ACS has gone towards life saving research, treatment and special care for cancer patients and their families.
“I'm proud to be the Cintas Executive Sponsor of the American Cancer Society because breast cancer impacts not only me and my family but so many other people,” said John Vu, Senior Vice President of Global Supply Chain and ACS Executive Champion. “It’s wonderful that we are able to come together not only as a company but with other organizations and people across all different walks of life in support of this cause.”
