Every October, while most of us are prepping for the holidays, Two Brothers Roofing gears up for something much bigger—a mission to save lives. Through their heartfelt “Roof For Cure” campaign, this family-run roofing company has turned their passion for building strong roofs into something even more powerful: supporting the fight against breast cancer.
🎀 Building Roofs. Building Hope.
October isn't just about pumpkins and football—it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and for Two Brothers Roofing, it’s become a time of purpose. Through the Roof For Cure movement, we donate a percentage of all roofing sales during the month of October to the St. Joseph’s/Candler Foundation’s Breast Cancer Fundraiser in Savannah, Georgia.
Every shingle laid and nail hammered contributes to something greater—funding research, raising awareness, and providing support to women and families fighting breast cancer.
“We realized we could do more than just protect homes—we could help protect others,” says Frida, COO.
🏆 A Community United: The Big Check Moment
At the campaign Paint The Town Pink celebration in November, Two Brothers Roofing joins local organizations and businesses at the annual fundraising event in Savannah, where the energy is electric and the impact is massive.
We get awarded a giant check—a proud moment that reflects all the hard work poured into the month. But it’s more than a photo op—it’s a visual reminder that small businesses can make big waves in their communities.
“It’s not about the size of the check. It’s about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our neighbors to make a difference,” Taylor, Marketing
Rolling Awareness: Pink-Wrapped Roofing Trucks
It’s hard to miss Two Brothers Roofing when we hit the road. Why? Because a few of our trucks are fully wrapped in bold, bright pink, proudly sporting the ribbon and message of breast cancer awareness.
These wrapped trucks don’t just turn heads—they spark conversations. Whether parked at a job site or cruising through town, they’re mobile reminders to schedule a checkup, do a self-exam, or ask a loved one about their health.
And yes, we still drive them year-round. Because breast cancer awareness isn’t just a once-a-year thing—it’s a constant commitment. You will see our crews wearing pink shirts all month and our team members in the office!
Breast Cancer Basics: What You Need to Know
You don’t have to be a doctor to take your health seriously. Knowledge is power—and early detection can truly save lives. Here are some quick health tips and signs everyone should be aware of:
🔍 Self-Examination Tips
Doing regular breast self-exams can help you spot changes early. Here’s how to do it:
Look in the mirror: With your arms at your sides and then raised, check for any visible changes like dimpling, swelling, or nipple inversion.
Use your fingers: Lying down or in the shower, use circular motions to feel all areas of the breast and armpit for lumps or thickening.
Check both sides: Don’t forget to compare both breasts. They won’t be perfectly symmetrical, but look out for anything new or unusual.
💡 Pro Tip: Pick a day each month (like the 1st or the day of your birthday) and make it your “self-check day.”
🚩 Warning Signs to Watch For
A lump in the breast or underarm
Swelling or thickening in part of the breast
Irritation or dimpling of breast skin
Redness or flaky skin
Nipple discharge (other than breast milk), including blood
Pain in the breast or nipple area
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. Schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider right away.
Healthy Habits That Help
While there’s no guaranteed way to prevent breast cancer, lifestyle choices can significantly reduce your risk. Here are a few to keep in your wellness toolkit:
Maintain a healthy weight
Exercise regularly—aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week
Limit alcohol consumption
Avoid smoking
Eat a balanced diet—lots of fruits, veggies, and lean proteins
Stay up-to-date with mammograms and doctor visits
👩⚕️ If you’re over 40 or have a family history of breast cancer, talk to your doctor about screening options. Mammograms can catch problems before symptoms appear.
💗 Why It All Matters
The truth is, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. But thanks to movements like Roof For Cure, awareness, early detection, and support are more accessible than ever.
Two Brothers Roofing is proof that you don’t need to wear a lab coat to make a difference. All it takes is heart, hustle, and the willingness to give back.
“Every roof we install in October stands for something bigger. It’s our way of saying—you’re not alone in this fight.” Clemente, Owner
