Borden Waste-Away and its Customers Donate Check For Cancer Research For Sixth Straight Year.

Matching Customers’ Donations Dollar for Dollar, Borden Waste-Away Service, Inc. Donates Entire Amount to Goshen Hospital’s Cancer Research Fund.

ELKHART (July 25, 2017) --- In 2011 Elkhart-based Borden Waste-Away pioneered an exclusive program where interested customers could add $1.00 to their monthly bill as a donation for cancer research. Each year Borden matches these donations dollar for dollar and the entire amount is donated to Goshen Hospital to support forty-five active clinical trials, spanning breast, lung, colorectal, lymphoma, esophageal, head & neck, prostate, melanoma, multiple myeloma, pancreatic, and other cancers. Other programs include pre-clinical studies for early detection, cancer vaccinations and improved radiation oncology verification systems, as well as The Tissue Bank.
The donations from 2016 totaled an astonishing $22,199.46, for a 6-year total of $141,493.70.

“The sheer number of customers coming forward to donate to such a worthy cause reminds us each year why we started this program”, relates Chris Himes, President of Borden Waste-Away, “It’s awe-inspiring and humbling to be part of an integral area of successful research.”
