CHARLESTON, S.C. — Atlantic Pest and Termite Management (Atlantic Pest) joined the unity rally to show Solidarity, Unity and Peace while remembering those who died in the Emanuel AME Church shooting.
As a sign of unity, solidarity and to honor and remember those who lost their lives, the staff wore blue and white, the colors of the South Carolina state flag. The blue represents loyalty, vigilance, perseverance and justice. The white represents purity and innocence.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for our employees to get ‘involved” and support such a great message that stands for solidarity and peace. Atlantic Pest encourages its employees to participate in community outreach and charitable causes. Our staff voluntarily raised and will be donating $1,000 to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund, which will provide direct financial support for the funeral and burial expenses of the 9 victims. Atlantic Pest will be matching our employee donation and giving an additional $1,000. Any remaining funds will be donated directly to the church.” said Ted Ford, president of Atlantic Pest and Termite Management.
