AC Self Storage and US Storage Centers Team Up in Business and for Charity
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) August 28, 2013 -- US Storage Centers has been named the third party management company for ten AC Self Storage properties. As part of the management agreement, AC Self Storage will join USSC in supporting Kure It, a non-profit dedicated to funding innovative cancer research.
“We have been partnered with AC Self Storage Solutions for a couple of years and appreciate their continued trust in us to manage their self storage portfolio,” said Jason Lopez, VP of Marketing for US Storage Centers. “These new properties expand our footprint in key markets such as Texas, Colorado and Tennessee, and strengthen our ability to provide best of breed operational management, online marketing and revenue management.”
In 2009, US Storage Centers began supporting Kure It by pioneering two unique programs at their properties. Store for the Kure sees street rates adjusted to include a .50 donation to Kure It every month. Round up for Research is an invitation to tenants to donate a small recurring amount monthly, to be included with their payment as a donation. In 2012, a “Round Up for Research” button was added to the online payment screen, making it even easier for tenants to get involved. Through the two programs, US Storage Centers raises nearly $9,000 for Kure It each month. “By welcoming AC Self Storage to the US Storage Centers and Kure It family, we will have an even bigger impact in the fight against cancer”, said Vice President of Operations at US Storage Centers, Mike Brady.
“We see this as an opportunity to easily help fund vital cancer research. Nearly all of us have been affected in some way either directly, or through friends or family, by cancer. We are happy to participate in this small way to be part of a solution”, said Troy Downing, Chief Executive Officer of AC Self Storage Solutions, LLC.
In 2012, the storage industry raised over $200,000 for Kure It Cancer Research through a variety of creative programs and events. Said Kure It Director Karen Jones, “With over 50,000 self storage facilities in the United States, the industry is in a position to have a significant impact on underfunded cancer research. Our founder, Barry Hoeven, has always believed if a lot of people give small amounts, on a regular basis, it will add up to big money for research. We are honored to receive the support of AC Storage, and we look forward to the new breakthroughs and treatments that will come about as a result of the partnership.”
