This awesome Virginia business donated a portion of their
profits to Autism research!
Our community needs to show our support to businesses like
this.
My Plumber Heating and Cooling has launched a campaign to
promote awareness and raise research funding for autism spectrum disorder
(ASD): The general, oft-misunderstood term for a group of complex, brain development-disorders
that affects nearly 1 in 68 American children.
Throughout the month of April, their fleet of specially
wrapped My Plumber service vans and trucks travel the region, bearing the
iconic Puzzle Piece and a ribbon. A portion of all profit earned was donated
back to local organizations that support the cause, as well as research for a
cure.
“My Plumber is in the business of helping people,” said
Wendell Presgrave, owner of My Plumber Heating & Cooling in Manassas,
Virginia. “Our customers invite us into their homes, into their private lives.
You wouldn’t believe the people we’ve met, and the stories we’ve heard: Did you
know many autistic children love running water, and will flush, and flush, and
flush until a toilet is clogged? More than one parent of a child on the
spectrum has thanked us, over and over, for the peace of mind that comes with
knowing there’s a reliable plumber they can call.”
As the Washington, DC metropolitan area’s go-to plumber, My
Plumber Heating and Cooling recognizes the vital importance of community
involvement; in addition to promoting awareness, company employees regularly
volunteer their time to support and fundraise for the cause.
