    Members of AirTime 500™, Plumbers’ Success International®, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing™, and One Hour Air Conditioning™ have raised $21,936 for the American Red Cross’ Armed Forces Emergency Services.

    The ARC’s Armed Forces Emergency Services provide communication, financial assistance, and counseling between troops stationed overseas and their families at home.

    The contractors started the “Contractors for Troops” fundraiser to aid military families and soldiers stationed overseas. The fundraiser lasted for three months and contractors across the country participated by making straight donations, holding fundraisers, or pledging a portion of their service calls.

    “I’m so proud that we were affiliated with the American Red Cross and this great cause. It’s the least we could do to help those who are risking their lives to help us,” says Terry Nicholson, president of Contractors Services.

    AirTime 500 and Plumbers’ Success International are management and marketing organizations for owners of residential plumbing and HVAC service companies. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and One Hour Air Conditioning are franchise opportunities available to independent contractors across the country.
