Whiting’s Creative Clocks Partners with American Cancer Society to Raise Funds

 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Nov. 27, 2013 - PRLog -- Whiting’s Creative Clocks of Jacksonville is teaming up with the American Cancer Society to help fight breast cancer.  The clock company will be donating a portion of proceeds from custom orders to the Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program.

“With 1 out of 3 people diagnosed with cancer, we decided to get involved and give back a portion of the proceeds to the American Cancer Society,” said Darryl Whiting, President and Founder of Whiting’s Creative Clocks.

To ceremonially kick off the program, Whiting’s donated $10.50 to ACS, which is expected to be just the first of many donations made through the special program.

The company has made a commitment to help support the American Cancer Society Program’s and help people with cancer and their loved ones understand cancer, manage their lives through treatment and recovery, and find the emotional support they need.

“Donations like this will ensure the American Cancer Society will continue to offer local services like Reach to Recovery, a support program where a newly diagnosed patient is matched with a survivor; who serves as a mentor and a friend.  The Look Good Feel Better is a program where we work with licensed cosmetologists to fit women going through chemotherapy with wigs, beauty techniques and skin care regimens.  We have a great Road to Recovery program which is for cancer patients going to treatment that could not necessarily get to treatment.  So, we offer rides to their treatment whether it is for “chemo” or radiation treatment, ‘said Laura Hersperger, Account Representative, Partner Relationships, Florida Division, American Cancer Society.”  All of these programs and services are free of charge to cancer patients.  We also have a hotline which is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and callers always get to talk to a live person, not an automated system.

Whiting became interested in supporting breast cancer research after he was asked to create a breast cancer survivor’s clock gift set for a survivor in Memphis, Tennessee.

After delivering the custom set to the West Clinic in Memphis, Whiting had a chance to see firsthand the wide-spread impact breast cancer was having on the community.

“It was at that moment I decided to support organizations that were making a difference in the lives of cancer patients,” Whiting said.

Whiting later relocated to Jacksonville, and saw an advertisement for the upcoming American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk and decided to get involved.

Whiting’s Creative Clocks staff members served as volunteers at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Saturday, October 26, 2013 at the Jacksonville Landing.

When Whiting’s customers order a custom gift set or a gift card and mentions the promotional code ACS01, 15% from that order will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

The American Cancer Society, For 100 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has worked relentlessly to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Together with millions of our supporters worldwide, we help people stay well, help people get well, find cures, and fight back against cancer.
