STOW, Ohio — Matco Tools announced it will launch its year-long "Tools for the Cause" campaign to raise money and support for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

From Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2013, for each product purchased from a list of selected items, Matco will donate 15 percent of the sale, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $100,000, to Susan G. Komen.

Matco also will show its support by turning the outside of its headquarters and marketing materials pink for the month of October. In addition, through the end of the year, Antron Brown, Matco’s top fuel pilot and crew, will join the fight with a specially designed pink Matco car, and distributors across the country will have the opportunity to show their support with promotional signage, limited edition gear and more.
 
“Matco Tools has many personal ties to breast cancer at every level of the organization,” said Tim Gilmore, Matco Tools president. “We are proud that our company can give back and donate profits to such an important organization. Komen is a great partner that’s doing remarkable things in the community to raise awareness, provide treatment and support survivors.”
