Fort Myers Pest Control Company Donates $900 Each to BBBS and American Cancer Society

April 17, 2012 - PRLog -- In 1974 President Richard Nixon established, by executive order, National Volunteer Week, April 15th-21st, an event which highlights the efforts of volunteers from organizations, businesses, communities, churches and schools, who have come together and to make a difference in someone’s life, community, country or world. Larue Pest Management believes in service and the power of neighbors helping neighbors. This month the company donated $1,800 dollars to local charities.

“It’s not just a donation. It’s an investment in a child’s future,” is a defining statement of Big Brothers Big Sisters and Larue Pest Management shares this vision of investing in children. Recently, the company sent Big Brothers Big sisters of the Suncoast a check of $900, for the 1st quarter of 2012.

“A donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters impacts a child’s life and makes us part of something bigger,” said Keith Ruebeling, president of Larue Pest Management (http://www.laruepest.com/). “We realize the importance of giving back and that is why we donate $10 for every property we are hired to service. Our customers know, not only will they receive professional service, but that part of their purchase is going to help someone in the community.”

The company also supports, through its donation program, the American Cancer Society; a nationwide, community-based organization dedicated to eliminating cancer. Each year the Society must raise funds to support cancer research, education, advocacy, and service. For the 1st quarter of 2012, Larue Pest Management wrote a check of $900, to help in the fight against cancer.

Terry Music, of the American Cancer Society recently said, “The American Cancer Society could not accomplish its mission of saving lives …[without] the money that enables us to fund groundbreaking research, provide the most up to date and objective cancer information to patients whenever they need it, and deliver the programs and support that make a difference in the lives of those in their communities experiencing cancer.”

Volunteers, combined with the finances that support them, make a difference. Research shows that mentoring works and children with a Big Brother or Big Sister have an opportunity to lead healthier, more productive lives. Additionally, in 2011, 157,000 cancer patients received help in their battle against cancer and over 11 million cancers survivors will celebrate their birthday this year because of the efforts of the many supporters of the American Cancer Society.

“We are just a pest management company,” added Ruebeling. “But when businesses, customers, organizations…well all of us, start combining efforts the results can be amazing! No matter how little or big a donation is, a difference is made in the lives of people. They know someone cares.”
