Breast Cancer Awareness, October 2013
Given that the Grout Medic’s customer base is made up primarily of women, the company decided it wanted to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which takes place each October. Nearly everyone knows someone—family, friends, or coworkers—who has been touched by breast cancer, and the team at the Grout Medic is no exception.
The Grout Medic began making its own contribution to recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2013. For every job participating Grout Medic franchises booked in October, that franchise contributed $5 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). BCRF, which remains one of the most fiscally responsible charities in the country, has earned 4 stars from Charity Navigator (out of four stars) for the eleventh time since 2002. Currently, a full $0.91 of each dollar spent by BCRF goes directly toward breast cancer research and awareness programs.The Grout Medic corporate headquarters is honored to participate along with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation as a way to give back to the communities that support its business.
