Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air Is Sponsoring Susan G. Komen San Diego Race for the Cure November 4
Race begins at 6:30am on November 4 in Balboa Park
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- For the 8th year in a row, Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air is a sponsor of the Susan G. Komen San Diego Race for the Cure on November 4 in Balboa Park.
According to Mary Jean Anderson, president of Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air, "The Komen Race for the Cure is very near and dear to my heart. I'm named after my Grandmother Mary and my Aunt Jean – both of whom had Breast Cancer. And, at a recent employee meeting, I asked everyone to raise their hand if they knew someone who had Breast Cancer. Nearly every hand went up. The good news is that this is something we can change by raising money for care and research."
The San Diego Plumbers, HVAC Technicians and Operations Employees at Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air help raise funds in a variety of ways from having a team in the Race for the Cure to fundraising events to providing customers with a brochure on recommended health tips from Komen. Additionally, there is an Anderson initiative called 'Find A Cure Fridays' where the company donates to Komen when someone books a service or repair on Fridays from August through October.
"We believe in the good work, care and support from Komen San Diego because so much of the monies raised here stay here. Komen is the largest non-profit funder of research outside the U.S. Government and much of those research dollars have been awarded to researchers here in San Diego. Komen's bold goal is to reduce breast cancer deaths by 50% by 2026. We want to do our part to help make that happen," added Anderson.
Susan G. Komen San Diego provides free mammograms, biopsies, ultrasounds, care coordination, education and financial assistance for breast cancer patients' most critical needs during treatment.
