AUDUBON, PA — CertaPro Painters® has launched its seventh annual Paint it Pink campaign in partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and Breast Cancer Canada, continuing its mission to fund life-saving research and raise awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Since its inception in 2019, the initiative has generated more than $700,000 in donations.
Running from October 1 through November 30, participating CertaPro Painters franchisees will donate a percentage of proceeds from every painting project completed during the campaign period. Local businesses and CertaPro corporate employees will also contribute through fundraising events, step challenges, and community activities — including painting landmarks and businesses pink to show support.
CertaPro aims to raise $165,000 this year, which would fund approximately 3,300 hours of breast cancer research or provide the equivalent of 66 patient enrollments in BCRF-supported clinical trials.
“The inspiration behind Paint it Pink came from a heartfelt journey of loss and a desire to make a difference,” said Mike Stone, President and CEO of CertaPro Painters. “At CertaPro we are committed to standing by those affected by breast cancer, including our employees and franchisees. Our Paint it Pink initiative embodies our dedication to community support and allows us to put our core values into action.”
Through its partnership with BCRF, CertaPro Painters also supports The Pink Agenda’s FAB-U-WISH program, which grants wishes to women undergoing or recovering from breast cancer treatment. This year, CertaPro Painters of York, Pennsylvania, helped refresh the home of breast cancer survivor Trisha Lane, giving her family space a renewed sense of comfort and hope.
“Having my house painted means more than just a fresh coat of color—it feels like a renewal,” said Lane. “It’s a reminder that even during hard times, my home can be a place of light, healing, and hope.”
CertaPro encourages individuals and businesses alike to participate by donating directly to the campaign or supporting local franchise fundraising efforts. Donations can be made at certapro.com/paint-it-pink.
