This September, C and C Pumps and Supply, a distributor of BJM Pumps, donated $1,000 to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. The walk was held in Rock Springs Park, Ill., on Oct. 11, 2014.
C and C Pumps and Supply, formed in August 2013 by Chris Szablewski and Craig Rahlfs, provides 24/7 coverage for pump needs. Six months prior, Szablewski decided to donate $500 per pump sold, if the end user agreed to accept the pump in pink. C and C would offer the end user the choice of which cancer awareness organization they wanted the donation to go to.
"Whether you have been directly affected or not by breast cancer, these types of events show the community's support for helping to find a cure. I want to thank C and C for donating on behalf of the city's team, Beauties and the Beast," said Gary L. Graham, mayor of O' Fallon, Ill.
The city of O' Fallon recently purchased two mobile pumps from C and C Pumps and Supply for use in the public works department. After the purchase of the pumps, C and C offered to donate $1,000 to the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, on behalf of the city's team if the pumps would be painted pink in support of breast cancer awareness.
The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event is an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about what can be done to reduce breast cancer risk and raise money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with breast cancer research, information and services, and access to mammograms for women who need them.
