Pink and White Are Part of Fall’s Colors for New Rochelle-Based Business

New Rochelle, NY, October 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- A&N Heating Oil is pleased to announce they have joined the fight against breast cancer in a very visible way. A&N, a family owned and operated heating oil distributor based out of New Rochelle, New York, has recently painted one of it’s delivery trucks pink and white in hopes of reminding Westchester residents that early detection saves lives, and to encourage screenings.

“We thought that if we painted this truck pink and white – pink being the recognizable color for breast cancer awareness, which is highlighted in October – it could spread an important message,” said CEO Jason Costa. To support education and to provide care for patients in need, A&N will also donate a portion of the proceeds from each gallon of oil delivered by the Pink Truck to the Solomon Katz Breast Center at Sound Shore Medical Center in New Rochelle.

“We’ve heard stories from our customers over the years, stories about cancer in their families,” said Costa. “The Solomon Katz Breast Center has a local presence, and the money raised will have an immediate impact on the residents of our service area. We want people to stop, look, and ask the question, 'What’s that all about?'”

“Our employees and customers have been very excited and supportive of this campaign. We will be using the truck to make deliveries throughout our service area (Lower Westchester and the Bronx) and plan to display it at community events, parades, and other gatherings.” If you organize an event in one of the communities that we serve and would like to have the Pink Truck participate, or you would like to arrange for part of your home fuel to be delivered by the Pink Truck, please call 914-637-0070 or visit www.anheatingoil.com.
