Norwalk-based Emcor Group Inc., which works in mechanical and electrical construction, industrial and energy infrastructure and building services for a range of businesses nationally, for the sixth consecutive year will support Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
Company workers will don pink Emcor hard hats in support of the company health campaign titled “Protect Yourself. Get Screened Today.” All 7,000 company vehicles will feature pink-themed posters. Emcor expects 6,000 workers to sport the pink hard hats, leading to what it terms a “multiplier effect” of interest in breast cancer awareness from passersby, neighbors and family members.
Anthony Guzzi, Emcor”™s president and CEO, in a statement said, “The enthusiasm for this program continues to grow, and we”™ve been given specific feedback regarding the positive impact this has on people”™s decision to go for a screening. We know it is making a difference.”
The “human pink hard hat ribbon” forms at Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital in New Haven on Oct. 15.
