Tucson HVAC Company Raises Big Dollars For MS At Behest Of Employee’s Wife

In support of an employee’s wife suffering from MS, Tucson HVAC contractor D&H AC will donate close to $10,000 to the National MS Society for the 24th Annual Walk MS taking place in Tucson on March 18. HVAC manufacturer Daikin participates in the fundraising effort.

Tucson, United States – February 28, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

On March 18, 2017, nearly 1,000 Tucsonans will take on a 2-mile walk at Reid Park to raise an expected $65,000 for the fight to cure MS. Among them: Jackie, long-time MS patient, and D&H AC, a local HVAC company sponsoring the event.

Diagnosed with MS in 2009, Jackie admits that this disease has changed her perspective. “I’m always looking at the positive and not letting the little things bother me.” As a volunteer for the National MS Society, she and her husband Randy knocked loudly at the door of Randy’s employer, D&H AC (www.DandHAC.com), to support this 24th Annual Walk MS.

“I know a cure is possible in the near future,” says Jackie, “but fundraising is essential for research to continue. Randy thought that D&H AC would be sympathetic to our plight, so we asked for their sponsorship.”

As Randy’s direct boss, Phillip Robles, explains: “Jackie and Randy asked for our help: we had to support their inspiring fight.”

It is difficult for small businesses to commit significant funds to charity. However, D&H AC presented their case to Daikin, a worldwide manufacturer of air conditioning systems represented here in Tucson by D&H AC. “Daikin’s management showed amazing support,” says Phillip Robles, “and agreed to donate a complete air conditioning system, worth well over $7,000.”

With the dollar value of the labor given away by D&H AC to engineer and install the system, Jackie will hopefully raise nearly $10,000 for her charity. This powerful chain of support shows how volunteers and small local businesses can leverage their relationships to become a fundraising force.

Lisa Cleary, of the National MS Society, commented: “Generous local businesses such as D&H AC and big businesses like Daikin can muster tremendous power when they act together. Their dollars will spread education and awareness about MS, and fund research to find a cause and a cure to the disease. We are truly grateful for this amazing show of support.”

On March 18, the Daikin air conditioning system will go on the auction block. The highest bidder will receive a unit completely tailored by D&H AC for their home, and 100% of the auction proceeds will benefit the National MS Society. For Jackie and Randy, this 24th Annual Walk MS will be a date to remember in their fight against MS.
