Gray Tools Canada kicks-off 'Together We Are Stronger' campaign with Prostate Cancer Canada to raise funds and prostate cancer awareness

BRAMPTON, ON, Sept. 3, 2014 /CNW/ - Gray Tools Canada Inc, in cooperation with Prostate Cancer Canada, is proud to announce its "Together We Are Stronger" campaign that seeks to help eliminate prostate cancer.

The campaign kicks off September 1, the beginning of prostate cancer awareness month, and runs until the end of the year. During the four-month period a portion of all sales generated from the Gray Tools Fall Professional Tools Specials flyer will be donated to Prostate Cancer Canada. Proceeds raised will go directly towards funding valuable research that is needed to find a cure for the disease.

"We made the decision to launch the campaign because the majority of our customers are men, and sadly, 1 in 8 will likely be diagnosed with the disease during their lives. We felt we could play a valuable role in increasing awareness," says Gary Nuttall, President of Gray Tools.

Rocco Rossi, president and CEO of Prostate Cancer Canada, says he is thrilled with the support from Gray Tools.

"Prostate Cancer Canada's mandate is eliminating the suffering caused by the disease. A critical step in achieving this goal is simply increasing awareness. When Gray Tools approached us to collaborate we didn't hesitate, as our campaign goals are similar. Together I am confident we will raise awareness and encourage many men to pursue early detection."

Getting involved is easy. Every time a product on the Gray Tools fall promotion flyer is purchased, funds are automatically raised to fight prostate cancer. For a complete listing of participating distributors visit: www.graytools.com/wheretobuy.
