PHOENIX CRANE GOES PINK FOR NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

PRESS RELEASE - JUNE 7, 2012

Phoenix Crane Rental of Mableton, GA proudly announces its support for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) (www.nbcf.org) with a generous corporate sponsorship and a pink 40-ton Terex crane to show it off.

Family owned and operated since 1983, Phoenix Crane Rental (www.phoenixcrane.com) is spearheading an effort within the crane industry and their community by donating a portion of the revenues generated by the Pantone® pink crane to the NBCF, whose mission is “to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need.”  Corporate sponsorships are critical in furthering and strengthening the NBCF’s mission to gain the advantage over breast cancer. Their initiatives have been lifesaving to thousands of women.    

In sponsoring the NBCF, and raising awareness about the nonprofit so that others will follow, the pink crane around town contributes substantially to free mammograms for women in need, promotes early breast cancer detection and provides educational programs that offer answers and advice to anyone whose life is touched by breast disease.

“Over the years, we have contributed regularly to a variety of charities, but have not gotten involved with any particular cause with passion, until now” said Mike Phillips, President of Phoenix Crane. “We knew we had the resources to contribute and the willingness to become involved, we just needed the right partner.  Looking at the NBCF, which is also a family-supported organization, we feel we have found our partner.”

National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) certified crane operator Jessica Ives has operated the pink crane since its maiden voyage just after Mother’s Day on May 14, and will gladly continue to do so.  “Phoenix Crane has every intention to keep the crane in operation for the lifetime of the equipment” said Karen Barton, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President.  “Every dollar we can contribute yields a far greater personal and organizational return than anything else we could have gotten involved in.”
