"Forearm Forklifts Even Come In Pink"
A.A.C. Forearm Forklift, the manufacturer of Moving Straps used by furniture retailers for home delivery of furniture, appliances, mattresses & sofas, announced that it will continue its support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through its annual $10,000 donation.
A.A.C.’s annual $10,000 donations support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. “We even makes the straps in pink!," said Mark Lopreiato, inventor of Forearm Forklift. "All of us here are committed to help protect women’s health and we’re impressed that BCRF is the most highly rated breast cancer organization in the U.S. Over 90% of the resources raised by the foundation go directly to research grants and awareness programs. They’re an efficient charity, with a great cause and we’re honored to support life-saving research.”
“BCRF is honored to have Forearm Forklift as a dedicated partner in our fight against breast cancer,” said Robbie Franklin, Dir. of Mktg. at the foundation. According to 2010 findings from the American Cancer Society, women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 chance of developing invasive breast cancer in their lifetime and a 1 in 35 chance of dying from breast cancer.
The foundation was started as a non-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical research. In 2010, nearly $29 million was awarded to 173 scientists across the globe. BCRF directs at least 90 cents of every dollar raised directly to research. And for the 9th consecutive year, BCRF has received Charity Navigator’s highest rating, four stars, thus outperforming over 99.8% of the 5,400 evaluated charities. The American Institute of Philanthropy has awarded the BCRF its highest possible rating of A+. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization in the U.S. to receive these accolades.
