  • Deserving winner will receive THINK PINK package including $1,000 cash, new set of tires, and VIP spa day
  • RNR locations will participate in donating a portion of tires sales to further breast cancer research

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express (RNR), the nation’s leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels, announces the launch of its ninth annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October), the RNR team will be donating a portion of all tire sales to breast cancer research foundations to further the advancement in the search for a cure.

In addition to donating to breast cancer research, RNR is awarding a deserving breast cancer survivor or fighter with a THINK PINK package that includes $1,000 in cash, a set of new tires, and a VIP spa day package. Family and friends of deserving individuals can submit nominations here.

With more franchises participating this year, the most in the brand’s 24-year history, the community impact is anticipated to reach further than ever before. As the longest-standing giveback initiative, it is expected to reach new heights with even more applicants.

RNR’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign is meant to serve as an opportunity to recognize the resilience and fortitude shown by those women and men who have now or in the past struggled with a breast cancer diagnosis. It affords those who have been diagnosed, and loved ones, an opportunity to share their journey toward recovery not only with the RNR team, but with the entire country.

“This initiative is about more than just giving away money, it is about honoring the brave individuals who are fighting breast cancer,” said Larry Sutton, founder of RNR Tire Express. “At RNR, we believe in doing more than just serving our customers – we’re committed to making a positive impact in our communities. It is truly special to be in our ninth year of this giveaway and being able to highlight the strong and deserving breast cancer fighters and survivors.”

CertaPro Painters® Launches Sixth Paint it Pink Campaign: Over Half a Million Raised for Breast Cancer Research

2024-10-07T18:10:32-04:00October 7th, 2024|Tags: , , |

AUDUBON, Pa. — CertaPro Painters®, North America’s Most Referred Painting Company®, is launching its Paint it Pink campaign for the sixth consecutive year in partnership 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 $555,000, which equates to approximately 11,000 hours of BCRF research.

CertaPro Painters franchisees that participate in Paint it Pink will donate a percentage of every painting project completed between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30. Local businesses and CertaPro corporate team members also participate in fundraising events. CertaPro aims to increase its donations every year, with a goal of achieving $160,000 during the months of October and November 2024. All donations will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in the U.S. and Breast Cancer Canada. If CertaPro reaches its 2024 funding goal, its Paint it Pink campaign will support roughly 3,200 hours of research for BCRF or the equivalent of 64 patients’ enrollment in a BCRF-supported clinical trial.

“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 of 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. Our Paint it Pink initiative is incredibly 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.”

CertaPro’s Paint it Pink campaign will consist of several initiatives this year, including:

  • A Paint it Pink social media campaign will go coast to coast this year and have fun “painting” recognizable North American landmarks pink, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Times Square, the CN Tower and more! Follow us @certapro!
  • Participating franchisees will have a dedicated Paint it Pink page on their local CertaPro website with links to important resources and how to get involved.
  • Many CertaPro franchisees connect with neighboring businesses to raise awareness by painting them pink during the campaign or partner to host local fundraising events such as a 5K run or picnic.
  • CertaPro’s corporate team gets involved by participating in a step challenge whereby all donations go to Paint it Pink. Team members donate to participate in the step challenge, and if the goal is met, CertaPro will contribute up to $4,500 in addition to stepping efforts.

Anyone can get involved in Paint it Pink by making a donation to support breast cancer research. Whether you’re a business, community member, or individual looking to make a difference, your contribution can help bring us one step closer to a cure.

Senior Helpers of Lancaster County Achieves Prestigious CHAP Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification

2024-09-26T21:56:54-04:00September 26th, 2024|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

EPHRATA, Pa. — Senior Helpers, the nation’s premier provider of in-home senior care services, is the first private duty in-home care provider in the United States to be Age-Friendly Care at Home certified by Community Health Accreditation Partners (CHAP). On August 26, 2024, locally owned Senior Helpers of Lancaster County joined the list of Senior Helpers CHAP Age-Friendly Care at Home Certified locations.

“Senior Helpers’ achievement as the pioneering Age-Friendly Care certified home care organization is truly remarkable. Their proactive approach in implementing numerous tools to enhance care for older adults, even before receiving the AFC certification, speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence,” said Teresa Harbour, COO of CHAP. “Their use of LIFE Profile to reduce the risk of hospitalizations, their Senior Gems program for dementia care, and their Centers for Excellence for staff training and competency set them up for success, so adding the Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification was a logical next step.”

Owners, Kent and Rebekah Terry stated, “It is an honor to be the first franchise in the country to attain this certification. Our decision to voluntarily pursue this certification, further demonstrates our dedication to providing a higher standard of care throughout Lancaster County.”

What is Age-Friendly Care at Home?

The first-of-its-kind certification was created to help meet the demand for high-quality care for older adults and showcases companies that use all-encompassing, person-centered care to address the unique needs of every individual. The focus is on the 4Ms (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility), a research-backed and evidence-based approach to care. To receive the CHAP certification, Senior Helpers of Lancaster County worked to ensure that the 4Ms Framework is an integral part of operations and daily interactions with clients.

  1. What Matters puts clients at the center of care and empowers them to be involved in goalsetting and preferences for their care.
  2. Medication should be used in an age-friendly way that does not interfere with What Matters to the client.
  3. Mentation focuses on preventing, identifying, treating, and managing depression and dementia.
  4. Mobility ensures older adults move safely and maintain function so they can do What Matters to them.

CHAP provides training, certification, and accreditation for senior care providers, ensuring quality and compliance with the highest standards of care using the 4M Framework and other guidelines.

Senior Helpers Elevates Care Standards for Seniors

In addition to the CHAP certification, Senior Helpers of Lancaster County elevates its care for clients through three key programs: the proprietary LIFE Profile assessment tool, the Senior Gems® program, and the Center of Excellence training spaces.

LIFE Profile is a research-based technology tool that uses data to identify a client’s risk of being hospitalized.

The Senior Gems® program provides effective strategies for supporting and caring for loved ones from normal aging through late-stage dementia, focusing on what is precious and unique about each senior at each stage.

The Senior Helpers Center of Excellence is a training space designed to simulate a client’s home, allowing caregivers to learn and train in a real-world environment and demonstrate their ability to provide the highest quality of care in a client’s home.

Senior Helpers of Lancaster County provides in-home care for seniors to help them age in place and live quality lives. They provide personalized care, including chronic disease care, Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson’s care, transportation, end-of-life care, and more.

Through a variety of activities, CP Cares has brought the Cruise Planners community and fellow travel partners together to raise funds and spread awareness about blood cancers:

  • Light The Night Walks: Cruise Planners advisors, clients, and team members have participated in LLS’s Light the Night events across the country. These walks honor survivors, remember loved ones lost, and raise vital funds to support cancer research.
  • Local Events & Auctions: From silent auctions to charity dinners, Cruise Planners has hosted countless events to raise funds for blood cancer research. These events not only support research but also build awareness in local communities.
  • Corporate Matching: Cruise Planners Home Office has amplified the impact of its fundraising by matching donations made by advisors and employees, doubling the contributions to LLS and other blood cancer charities.

Blood cancers affect millions of people globally, and many within the Cruise Planners network have been personally touched by these diseases. “At Cruise Planners, we know that the fight against blood cancers is personal,” said Michelle Fee, CEO and Founder of Cruise Planners. “Our commitment to supporting research and patient services through CP Cares comes from a place of deep empathy for those impacted by these life-threatening illnesses.”

In honor of Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Cruise Planners encourages the community to get involved. Whether through donations, participating in a local fundraising event, or simply spreading awareness, every action makes a difference. Together, we can bring hope to those battling blood cancers.

CAMP BOW WOW LAUNCHES PAWSITIVE START JR. PROGRAM

2024-09-20T18:18:50-04:00September 20th, 2024|Tags: , , |

Puppy-focused program helps pups grow into confident adult dogs

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Camp Bow Wow®, the nation’s leading doggy day care and boarding franchise, has launched Pawsitive Start Jr., an educational program developed by Camp Bow Wow’s Animal Health and Behavior Expert, Erin Askeland, and is tailored to puppies ages 4 months to 1 year that sets them up for a happier, healthier future through socialization, learning, play and enrichment.

Like toddlers attending preschool, pups who visit Camp Bow Wow for Pawsitive Start Jr. experience a structured routine that includes:

  • Daily group playtime for socialization with other dogs
  • A rotating daily activity focusing on essential skills, positive experiences and exposure to new objects
  • Cabin enrichment time for puppies to engage in food puzzles and calming activities
  • Designated nap times
  • Daily report cards to keep pet parents updated on their Camper’s progress

The program also offers pet parent education, with informational handouts to help human companions continue their puppy’s development at home.

“Dogs who continue their socialization throughout puppyhood are more likely to be comfortable around other dogs and humans and in new situations as adults,” said Camp Bow Wow’s Animal Health and Behavior Expert, Erin Askeland, MSc, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA. “Our new program offers a comprehensive approach designed to help young dogs thrive, lead happier lives with their families and have more fun at Camp when their parents are away.”

Camp Bow Wow has welcomed over 50 million dog visits since opening its first Camp in 2000. Pawsitive Start Jr. is the latest addition to the brand’s range of services that demonstrate its commitment to providing the highest levels of fun, safety and service for Campers and peace of mind for their parents.

“As a leader in the doggy day care and boarding space, we designed Pawsitive Start Jr. as yet another way we can further our mission of Making Dogs Happy while reinforcing our commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of dogs,” said Camp Bow Wow President Julie Turner. “Our new program is perfect for young dogs, as it addresses their needs for play, learning, social interaction and rest. By fostering the development of essential social and cognitive skills, we can play a vital role in a puppy’s journey to create a lasting, positive impact in puppies’ lives and offer support to pet parents.”

The Pawsitive Start Jr. program has been successfully tested at select Camp Bow Wow locations and will be rolling out to additional Camps across North America over the coming months. To sign up, pet parents can check with their local Camp to confirm participation. For more information, visit https://www.campbowwow.com/services/pawsitive-start-jr-/.
