United Site Services announced today its sponsorship of the 26.2 With Donna, The National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer scheduled for February 21, 2010 in Jacksonville Beach Florida. Along with the company’s sponsorship comes a commitment to provide portable toilet service for the race in green and environmentally sustainable ways.
“We feel great about this sponsorship in two ways” said Phil Vetter, Florida Division Manager for United Site Services. “We are helping the effort to end breast cancer at the same time we are doing business in environmentally sustainable ways.” The company will be using Wausau recycled paper products distributed by JanPak and biodegradable deodorizer from Earth Friendly Chemicals for all the portable toilets and restroom trailers used at the marathon and related events. |

In addition to providing service for the marathon, United Site Services will also be delivering portable toilets for The PLAYERS 5K with Donna and the Bike 26.2 with Donna. These events, like the marathon, raise funds for breast cancer research and to support women fighting the disease. Seventy percent of the funds go to Mayo Clinic and is earmarked specifically for breast cancer research, while thirty percent goes to the Donna Foundation which meets the critical needs of underserved women living with breast cancer on the First Coast.
United Site Services’ green initiatives include the migration of its service truck fleet to new more fuel efficient and lower emissions vehicles, the use of recycled products and the elimination of excess packaging through buying bulk supplies. “We believe everyone benefits when we treat our environment well”, said Vetter.
