Employee-partners also had the opportunity to purchase items from Cintas’ "Knots for Hope” neckwear collection, along with pink T-shirts, polos and blouses. The Pink-Wear campaign raised over $23,000 with all proceeds benefitting the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

"Breast cancer has touched the lives of thousands of our employee-partners in some way,” said Scott Farmer, CEO of Cintas Corporation. "The ‘Knots for Hope’ collection is just one example of how we can show our support and make even a greater impact by extending that product offering to our customers.” he continued.

"Knots for Hope” scarves and ties are available for public purchase through the Cintas Uniform Book with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Komen for the Cure’s promise is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. It is among several organizations supported by CintasCares.
