“As cancer touches our lives and the lives of those we love, Borden Waste-Away is honored to be a part of the solution”

When Borden Waste-Away’s management team started the “Trash Cancer” campaign over four years ago, they were hopeful that it would resonate with the community.  The program offered their customers an optional Pink Cart for roadside trash collection as well as a Trash Cancer Matching Fund that allowed customers to add $1.00 per month to their billing, which Borden would match dollar for dollar.

Their hopes were substantiated.  This year, Borden Waste-Away presented a check to IU Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care totaling $28,227.78, the largest donation in the program’s history. Over the past four years, Borden Waste-Away has donated more than $92,000 to IU Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care Research Fund.

“As cancer touches our lives and the lives of those we love, Borden Waste-Away is honored to be a part of the solution,” said Ken Himes of Borden Waste-Away.   “The Pink cart and the Trash Cancer Matching Fund programs have certainly had awe-inspiring success!”

The company’s Trash Cancer Matching Fund program is available with or without a Pink cart.  All donations and Borden’s matching funds support the IU Health Goshen Center for Cancer Care Research Fund with programs that include forty-five active clinical trials, spanning breast, lung, colorectal, lymphoma, esophageal, head & neck, prostate, melanoma, multiple myeloma, pancreatic, and other cancers.  Other programs include preclinical studies for early detection, cancer vaccinations and improved radiation oncology verification systems, as well as The Tissue Bank.
To become a part of Borden Waste-Away’s Pink cart or donation program, simply call Borden’s Customer Support team at (800) 386-3313 ext. 570.
