ixom-based Vendtek
Wholesale Equipment
Inc. has created a spe-
cial vending machine that will sup-
port cancer treatment and research
during National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month in October.
A pink snack vending machine
is available Oct. 1 and is free to
businesses. A portion of ongoing
proceeds will be donated to the
Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer
Institute in Detroit.
Tom St. Germain of VendTek
says, "In April of 2008, after a long,
five-year battle, we lost a longtime
work associate and friend, Wayne
Painter, to breast cancer. Wayne had
been with me at Vendtek for over
15 years and had helped to con-
tribute to its growth and success.
This cause is important to me as a
tribute to him and to all others that
find themselves with this disease."
