Hester Painting & Decorating, Customers and Employees Support Those Affected By Alzheimer’s Disease
SKOKIE, Ill. (October 31, 2007) – Hester Painting & Decorating, along with its customers and employees, generated more than $11,800 last month to help fund the Alzheimer’s Association – Greater Illinois Chapter’s many programs offered to Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers of Illinois.
By donating a portion of all home painting, faux finishing and wall covering installation contracts begun in September and participating in the Alzheimer’s Association’s Annual Memory Walk, tripling employee contributions and matching customer contributions to the Hester team, Hester Painting & Decorating exceeded its fundraising goal by more than 60 percent.
“Someone develops Alzheimer’s disease every 72 seconds,” said Steve Hester, president of Hester Painting & Decorating. “It means so much to us to help enhance the quality of their lives and contribute to finding a cure for this disease.”
