Coolidge Cares
Giving Back to Those Who Give
Sure, our skilled technicians do a mighty fine job of meeting your home comfort needs; but our commitment to service doesn’t stop there. Starting April 2017, Blanton’s will make a difference in our world by increasing our donation to $1,500 every quarter to worthy nonprofits and charities. Even more exciting is that every recipient will be nominated and selected by our online community!
How Coolidge Cares Works
- Each quarter, Blanton’s clients will have the opportunity to submit nominations for a worthy charity or organization.
- Based upon these nominations, our office staff will select three organizations. Website visitors will have three months to vote for their favorite charity.
- The Blanton’s team will make a personal visit to the selected organization—and present them with a check for $1,500! Follow our Facebook & Twitter posts to find out this season’s BIG WINNER!

Ridin’ with Doctah Steve
Ridin’ with Doctah Steve supports local special needs athletes and worthy organizations by hosting an annual sheriff-escorted motorcycle ride in Fayetteville. A majority of the proceeds from the annual motorcycle ride support the Cumberland County Special Olympics. This Special Olympics program provides opportunities to many athletes throughout Cumberland County who may not otherwise be given the chance to experience the thrill of competition.
- Coolidge Cares funds awarded to this organization will assist in providing supplies for the Special Olympics and the Cumberland County Buddy Sports Program.
Cape Fear Regional Theatre
Cape Fear Regional Theatre is committed to uniting the community and creating a place where people can laugh harder, think deeper and grow together. This local theatre provides outstanding entertainment to more than 30,000 audience members—and its robust educational programs change thousands of children’s lives each year through the magic of live acting.
- Coolidge Cares funds awarded to the Cape Fear Regional Theatre will help fund daily operational expenses and allow the theatre to continue entertaining guests of all ages.
Armed Forces YMCA
The Armed Services YMCA (ASYMCA) enhances the lives of our servicemen and women and their families by offering programs that are relevant to the unique challenges of military life. The ASYMCA runs several programs and services for military families in the Fayetteville area. A large portion of the ASYMCA includes “Operation Kid Comfort”—a program that provides quilts for children who have a parent or both parents deployed. Each quilt is designed with photographs of the child with their parent or parents and is provided at no cost to the families.
- Coolidge Cares funds awarded to the Armed Forces YMCA will go directly to ASYMCA’s programs and services to help children of military families.
