Local LINE-X of Brandon Coated a Forklift Pink to Raise Money for Breast Cancer Research
LINE-X of Brandon Supports Local Fundraising Efforts for Susan G. Komen Foundation
(firmenpresse) - HUNTSVILLE, AL -- (Marketwire) -- 06/06/12 -- Local located in Tampa, Fla., a franchise of the nation's leading developer and provider of high performance protective coatings, recently sprayed a forklift entirely in bright pink LINE-X XTRA to help a local business raise money for a cause that really hits home with them. Each time the pink forklift is rented, 10 percent of the cost is donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.
Florida Lift Systems, headquartered in Tampa, Fla., and a frequent LINE-X customer, is in its 60th year of business as the exclusive distributor of new and used Toyota forklifts throughout Central and Northern Florida and Southern Georgia. Jim Cain, general manager of rental, leasing and transportation at Florida Lift Systems, and his daughter Vanessa annually participate in the Susan G. Komen three-day Walk for the Cure. After an employee was diagnosed and succumbed to cancer last year, Cain decided to take his commitment to the next level.
"The pink forklift was 100 percent Jim's idea," said Jeff Fischer, owner of Florida Lift Systems. "We applaud the uniqueness and creativity he exhibits in this effort. His dedication is another example of the commitment that all of our employees have to finding a cure. All of our associates have been challenged to live up to our theme of 'Going the Extra Mile' this year. LINE-X is an exceptional process for coating forklift trucks to prevent wear. Jim tried this on several forklifts three years ago and the outcome was tremendous. Not to mention, the local LINE-X folks were great to work with!"
When Jeff Fischer contacted LINE-X of Brandon with the proposition, Molly and Kevin Koehnke, owners of LINE-X of Brandon, jumped at the opportunity to participate in this project. The forklift was coated entirely with pink LINE-X XTRA. In addition to its striking visual appeal, the protective coating offers unmatched durability, defending against rust, corrosion, abrasion and UV damage. With its LINE-X application, the specialized forklift will be able to stay in operation and provide charitable contributions for years to come.
"In 16 years we've done a lot of great projects. This is actually one of our favorites because the project is being used to donate to a great cause," said LINE-X of Brandon co-owner Molly Koehnke. "It's such a great idea and we hope lots of people rent the pink forklift!"
