Carson City Senior Center receives donation of 20 new box fans for KOLO fan drive
CARSON CITY, Nev. – Roper’s Heating and Air Conditioning is helping Carson City seniors beat the heat this year with a donation of 20 brand new box fans through the KOLO 8 TV Fan Drive.
Dirk Roper, owner and CEO of Roper’s Heating and Air Conditioning, said the Fan Drive fits the company’s motto of looking out for the comfort, safety and health of families, and issued a challenge to other businesses in the area to donate fans.
“Heating and cooling is our job,” he said. “When we heard of the Fan Drive, we immediately felt we needed to contribute, and we would love to see other companies do the same.”
Warner said the Senior Center will be collecting fans throughout August with help of KOLO 8 TV and businesses like Roper’s.
“Last year, we distributed over 100 fans to local seniors,” she said. “We receive requests daily, and since seniors are more prone to heat related illnesses, we’d love to see this program grow.”
Fans must be new and in the box and may be dropped off Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Senior Center, located at 911 Beverly Drive in Carson City, or at any Christensen Automotive center.
