Ingersoll Rand Donates $25,000 to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.? as pa
Ingersoll Rand, a global leader in air compressors, tools, fluid management and material handling equipment, and the Ingersoll Rand Foundation presented a $25,000 grant to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help fund the foundation’s Early Detection Plan, educational programs, online support communities, mammogram and diagnostics services and breast cancer research as part of the “Give Cancer the Boot” breast cancer awareness campaign. Ingersoll Rand will donate up to an additional $25,000 as part of the “Give Cancer the Boot” promotion.
Beginning Oct. 1, Ingersoll Rand will give away pink protective tool boots with qualifying Impactool™ kit purchases, while supplies last. As a boot protects the tool, it will serve as a reminder for early detection to the company’s partners and customers. For more information on the “Give Cancer the Boot” promotion and qualifying tool kits — 231HA-BCA, 231HA-2-BCA, 231C-BCA — visit ingersollrandproducts.com.
The “Give Cancer the Boot” promotion extends to the racetrack as Ingersoll Rand will be the primary sponsor of the No. 44 Ingersoll Rand/Tastee Apple Toyota Camry, driven by Chad Hackenbracht, during the Dollar General 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 11.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Ingersoll Rand and TriStar Motorsports will run a special pink and black paint scheme showcasing the National Breast Cancer Foundation logo and pink ribbon to the back panel. Hackenbracht will also wear a pink-themed helmet and fire suit during the race, which will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and auctioned off at a later date.
Ingersoll Rand will also add a pink car to its Thunder Gun Pit Crew Titans mobile app, which allows users to experience a virtual racing pit stop and compete against their friends. Throughout the month of October, players will have the option to race the “Team Breast Cancer Awareness” pink car. The game is free and can be downloaded from the Apple, Amazon, Google Play and Windows app stores.
“Breast cancer is a widespread disease that universally impacts Ingersoll Rand employees, customers and our society as a whole,” said Scott Krull, president – Americas Industrial Technologies, Ingersoll Rand. “Early detection is key to successfully treating the disease. We are proud to partner with The National Breast Cancer Foundation to help spread the word about prevention and treatment to the areas Ingersoll Rand operates and beyond.”
