Arrow Supports Children's Healthcare of Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. — Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators, an avid supporter of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for over 20 years, recently donated $15,000 to further the study of life-saving research for children.

For more than 100 years, Children’s has been dedicated to supporting kids in need of medical attention — from pediatric cancer treatments and organ transplants to fracture care and appendectomies.

“On behalf of our 2,500+ Arrow Team Members and their families, we are delighted to support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta in any way that we can,” said Emily Thomas Kendrick, CEO of Arrow Exterminators. “This donation is especially meaningful for our team because it is in memory of Toni Lynn Abad, the beloved mother of one of Arrow’s team members, who passed away.”

Toni Lynn Abad or “Granny," as her grandchildren would call her, was most happy when she was preparing a large meal for her family or when she was helping someone in need, especially children. Abad expressed her love of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and always wished to give back to her community. She was the epitome of a giver and would help anyone who asked, even if it meant she would go without, a spokesperson for Arrow said.

All the proceeds will benefit the Friends Funding Goals for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta which supports the life-saving research and treatments provided by Children’s.
