CertaPro Painters®, North America’s Most Referred Painting Company®, has raised $145,500 for breast cancer research as part of its annual Paint it Pink campaign. For the sixth consecutive year, CertaPro Painters partnered with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and Breast Cancer Canada to help raise money in support of breast cancer research. Since 2019, CertaPro’s Paint it Pink has raised more than $700,000, which equates to covering 280 patients’ enrollments into clinical trials.
With support from 151 CertaPro Painters franchisees, a percentage of every painting project completed between October 1 and November 30 was donated to Paint it Pink. The donations will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in the U.S. and Breast Cancer Canada.
“The idea for Paint it Pink originated from a CertaPro franchisee who lost his wife to breast cancer and asked how our company could spread awareness and support the cause,” said Mike Stone, president & CEO, CertaPro Painters. “As a company, we strongly believe in helping those in need, supporting our employees and franchisees, and serving the local communities where we live.”
Stone added, “Our Paint it Pink initiative is important to us as it gives us the opportunity to live our core values and allows us to help pay it forward by supporting BCRF’s mission of achieving prevention and a cure for breast cancer. We are incredibly proud to have raised more than $700,000 since the inception of Paint it Pink in 2019.”
CertaPro’s Paint it Pink campaign consisted of several initiatives this year, including:
- A Paint it Pink social media campaign that went coast to coast this year and had fun “painting” recognizable North American landmarks pink, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Times Square, the CN Tower and more! Follow us @certapro!
- Participating franchisees dedicated a Paint it Pink page on their local CertaPro website with links to important resources and information about how to get involved.
- Many CertaPro franchisees connected with neighboring businesses to raise awareness by painting them pink during the campaign and/or partnered to host local fundraising events such as a 5K run or picnic.
- CertaPro’s corporate team got involved by participating in a step challenge whereby all donations went to Paint it Pink.
