Building Hope Through "Kitchens That Care"
In 2008 PATCO Construction of Sanford selected the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition’s Support Service Fund as the recipient of over $13,000 in funds generated by The Pink Key Project. This year, Lavalley Lumber has joined forces with PATCO in launching “Kitchens That Care”. For every PATCO home featuring a Lavalley kitchen built in 2010, $200 will be donated to the Support Service Fund.
“What
more symbolic place to focus our 2010 fundraiser to benefit the Maine
Breast Cancer Coalition, than in the “heart” of the house?” said PATCO
Co-owner, Mark Patterson. “The family kitchen is a special place, and
this is a very special cause,” added Lavalley President and CEO, Donald
Collins. “Bringing Maine companies together on behalf of great
organizations like the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition Support Service
Fund is critical. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of
women in Maine who are battling breast cancer.”
