Collaboration with Important Organizations
The Paint it Pink campaign collaborates with esteemed organizations such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and Breast Cancer Canada (BCC). Through these partnerships, CertaPro’s efforts have not only raised significant funds but have also facilitated the enrollment of over 330 patients into crucial clinical trials supported by the BCRF. This tangible impact demonstrates CertaPro's dedication to enhancing research in the fight against breast cancer.
Franchisee Participation and Donations
Supporting this charitable initiative were 139 franchisees from CertaPro Painters, who generously contributed a portion of the revenue from painting projects completed between October 1 and November 30. This fundraising method provides a significant boost to the contributions made towards BCRF and BCC. By channeling a percentage of their earnings into this campaign, franchisees are a crucial part of the positive change that Paint it Pink strives for.
The Heart of Paint it Pink
Mike Stone, the president and CEO of CertaPro Painters, expressed the sentiments fueling this campaign.

At CertaPro, we are committed to standing by those affected by breast cancer, including our employees and franchisees. Our Paint it Pink initiative embodies our commitment to community support, allowing us to put our core values into action." These words reflect the passionate drive that CertaPro is bringing to not just their business but also to a global community in need.
