Batzner Pest Management to ‘Go Pink’ for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As part of a Breast Cancer Awareness Month initiative, Batzner service professionals will be wearing pink shoe covers and pink gloves during their service visits throughout October.

NEW BERLIN, Wis. — Batzner Pest Management customers might notice something different about their service professional in October. As part of the company’s initiative to go pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Batzner service professionals will be wearing pink shoe covers and pink gloves during their service visits throughout October. The pink shoe covers and gloves are only part of the company-wide breast cancer awareness efforts Batzner is launching in October.

Batzner office employees are also getting into the pink spirit. The company’s monthly “jeans for charity” initiative will benefit Susan G. Komen in October. The Batzner office will be decked with pink on October 24, when the company will have a special pink day in the office - including a jeans day and lunch for employees who donate to Susan G. Komen.

“We’re excited to roll out a company-wide effort to raise awareness and funds to battle a disease that has touched the friends and families of many within our company,” said Jerry Batzner, Batzner Pest Management President and CEO.

The 14th Annual Batzner Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Races are included in the “go pink” festivities as well. Batzner will make a donation to Susan G. Komen on behalf of the winning team. This year’s races are taking place on Oct. 9, at 1 p.m. at the Batzner offices in New Berlin.

“Everyone in the company looks forward to the cockroach races each year. It’s an event that’s unique to our company and being able to tie the races in with the company’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month efforts make them even better,” Batzner said.
