Laying It On the Line for a Good Cause. Local Yellow Dawg Striping Franchise Owner Volunteers His Services
Andy Belotti, owner of Yellow Dawg Striping of Southern Connecticut, knows something about laying it on the line. It's his business, but he's also been laying it on the line for local charities and non-profits, too.
- (1888PressRelease) September 29, 2010 - Belotti recently opened the first YELLOW DAWG STRIPING Franchise in Connecticut. YELLOW DAWG is the pavement marking affiliate of BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT, a national pavement maintenance franchise with 11 locations in seven states. YELLOW DAWG uses state-of-the-art equipment to apply environmentally-friendly traffic paints.
"YELLOW DAWG has a Three For Free program where we donate our parking lot striping services to three different local non-profits and worthy causes. It's one way we're able to give back to our community. Without realizing it, I kind of did four this year", Belotti laughed.
Belotti's YELLOW DAWG striped the parking lots of the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department (Stations 1 and 2), St. Margaret Mary's Church in Shelton and St. Michael's Post 1562 Catholic War Veterans in Derby.
In a press release, Christopher Krize, President of the Monroe Fire Department said, "On behalf of the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department I would like to say thank you for striping our parking lot at Monroe Station #1. The work is of superb quality and has received many compliments. It's not very often such a nice thing is done for us at no cost. The Department thanks you for your time and hard work."
Father Thomas Whalen of St. Margaret Mary's offered, "The bright, clearly marked lines not only provide us with more room, better utilizing our space, but they've made our Sundays and Holy Days considerably easier and safer for everyone. We are very pleased. It was a big gift from Andy."
When asked about the impact of this work for these organizations Belotti said, "People don't realize how important parking lot lines are. They just sort of take them for granted. A properly striped lot not only keeps traffic flowing smoothly and increases safety, it looks good, too. Some charities just don't have the funds for this important low cost service and this helps make everyone safer. I like being a part of that."
YELLOW DAWG STRIPING is now accepting nominations for next year's Three For Free program and they're asking for the community's input.
