Marangoni fights cancer with 'cures'

Oct. 30, 2009

Marangoni Tread N.A. Inc. has created a funding program to contribute to the fight against cancer. For every RingTread “cured” in the month of November, Marangoni will donate to The Minnie Pearl Cancer  Foundation.

“The retreading industry benefits from extending the life of tires. We can give back something to help extend the life of those battling this terrible disease,” says Bill Sweatman, CEO and president of Marangoni Tread N.A.

The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation (MPCF), a nonprofit public charity, complements oncology care and, with warmth and a caring heart, compassionately helps people impacted by cancer navigate the journey through their diagnosis. The MPCF offers:

* free oncology social work services,

* nutrition consultations,

* a library of cancer-related materials,

* numerous educational and support programs, and

* access to clinical research in the community.
