As a Susan G. Komen® Pink Tie Guy Ambassador, Shoppa’s is Raising Vital Funds to Support Research,  Advocacy, Patient Care, and Education in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

This year, Jimmy Shoppa has partnered with the Susan G. Komen® Pink Tie Guy Fundraising  Program, pledging to raise funds in the fight to end breast cancer — a cause that holds a deeply personal meaning for him.

Shoppa’s stands in solidarity with those affected by breast cancer and is committed to contributing to a brighter, healthier future for all. We are proud to play our part in this meaningful endeavor,” stated Jim Shoppa, president of Shoppa’s Material Handling.

Susan G. Komen® is the world’s leading nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and eradicating breast cancer. Through Pink Tie Guys, leaders from the professional and community spheres unite to raise essential funds for research, advocacy, patient support, and education—working together to create a future without breast cancer.

In addition to assisting in The Pink Tie Guy Fundraising effort, Shoppa’s saw an opportunity last year to promote the philanthropic efforts of the Susan G. Komen Foundation and purchased the distinctive pink forklift. The $65,000 auction proceeds were donated to the Foundation by Toyota, and the forklift was brought back to the Dallas Fort Worth area where the Foundation is headquartered to help spread breast cancer awareness throughout the Metroplex.

The pink forklift is currently displayed at Shoppa’s Material Handling’s new Alliance headquarters, 15000 Heritage Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177, until later this month, when it will be auctioned off to the local DFW business community. Proceeds will once again go to Susan G. Komen.

As a Susan G. Komen® Pink Tie Guy Ambassador, Shoppa’s is Raising Vital Funds to Support Research, Advocacy, Patient Care, and Education in the Fight Against Breast Cancer.

Please help Shoppa’s raise more money for Susan G. Komen by pledging a donation of any size. Donating is easy—just go to Jim’s Pink Tie Guy page at www.info-komen.org/goto/jimmyshoppa.
