Horizon Services Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Join Horizon Services in the fight against Breast Cancer all throughout the month of October!
The Guys in the Orange Trucks Will Be Donning Pink Shirts…All For a Great Cause!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(WILMINGTON, DE ; October 5, 2010) — Horizon Services, Inc. – the premier plumbing, heating and air conditioning services and equipment installation company serving Delaware, Southeast Pennsylvania and Maryland — is going PINK for the month of October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month… literally.
Starting today — and on every Tuesday and Thursday throughout October — hundreds of Horizon’ s plumbing, heating, air conditioning, drain and sewer service technicians as well as sales associates will be donning pink shirts to remind customers that breast cancer education and early detection are critical to saving lives.
Mark Aitken, co-owner of Horizon Services, Inc., lost his grandmother to breast cancer nearly 40 years ago.
“Back when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, there were very few treatment options and almost no focus on prevention and early intervention,” he said. “Today, thankfully times are different and women are living longer, healthier lives — but the key is awareness.”
“We at Horizon Services are lucky enough to see literally thousands of customers each month in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland,” said Aitken. “So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we decided to use that expansive outreach to do some good.”
In addition to the pink shirts, Horizon Services technicians will attach reminders to invoices regarding Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encouraging women to get mammograms. As well, a full list of online breast cancer resources are available below.
Every Tuesday and Thursday in October...Keep your eyes peeled for Horizon Services technicians in their pink shirts. Honk your horn to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
