FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Farmington Hills, Mich. (September 23, 2013) –During October, Thornton & Grooms, a top local heating and cooling company, is donating five dollars for every furnace or boiler maintenance tune-up and fifteen dollars for every maintenance plan purchased to The Pink Fund. All donations will help those fighting breast cancer pay their heating bills this season.

The Pink Fund helps breast cancer patients pay bills and meet other basic financial needs for up to 90 days while they are undergoing treatment.  Many breast cancer patients simply cannot work while they are in treatment and so, have difficulty paying their bills.  The Pink Fund steps in to help relieve this stress and allow them to concentrate on beating cancer.

“We’ve promoted The Pink Fund for some time.  In the past, we’ve awarded the Fund a Hearts and Heroes Award of $1,000 and worn wristbands in support.  This year, we’re doing more,” says Dave Knight, owner of Thornton & Grooms.

Knight continues, “The best way we can think of to make a difference is to donate every time we make a service call. The money goes directly to helping breast cancer patients pay their heating bills. ”

Molly MacDonald, founder and president of The Pink Fund, is herself a breast cancer survivor.  She was diagnosed in 2005 and saw the financial damage that the demands of treatment and recovery can cause.  The Pink Fund is based in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

Thornton & Grooms is currently scheduling maintenance tune-ups that will benefit The Pink Fund.  Anyone wishing to help breast cancer patients pay their heating bills can schedule theirs at http://www.thorntonandgrooms.com/schedule-maintenance
