Our Contributions
As the Garage Door Doctor, I meet new and interesting people on a daily basis and I am often surprised with how many long lasting friendships have developed through garage door service calls. I suppose that it’s just being a part of a wonderful community. Through these friendships I've had the opportunity to contribute to several community-based organizations and hope that maybe you can to.

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder causing tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. Usually diagnosed in childhood, NF is a life-long disorder affecting both sexes, all races and is more prevalent than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Huntington's disease combined. The Children's Tumor Foundation is committed to finding a cure to NF.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. AA’s primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety

In the United States, a person dies by suicide every 16 minutes, claiming more than 34,000 lives each year. It is estimated that an attempt is made every minute; with close to one million people attempting suicide annually. With your participation, you will not just be walking, and your donors will not just be writing a check - you will be helping to save lives.
