NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, October 7, 2010 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, is proud to announce that its Tucker Mechanical subsidiary will be donning EMCOR Pink Hard Hats, along with employees of Yale Cancer Center and Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut on Friday, October 8 at 9:30 a.m. ET and assembling at Amistad Park in New Haven in a "Call to Action" in support of Breast Cancer screening and awareness. As part of EMCOR's "Protect Yourself. Get Screened Today" campaign, over 160 employees from the organizations will form themselves into the shape of a giant human pink ribbon, the international symbol of breast cancer awareness.

 

Tucker Mechanical President and CEO, Robert Turner, will present an official EMCOR Pink Hard Hat to Dr. Anees Chagpar, MD, Director of the Yale Breast Center. As part of the special ceremony, Tucker Mechanical employees, as well as a number of general contractors and sub-contractors that Tucker Mechanical works with, will remove their regular hard hats and replace them with official EMCOR Pink Hard Hats in a "Call to Action" for millions of women and men to "Protect Yourself" through Breast Cancer screening and awareness.

 

"We are excited to be participating in this EMCOR initiative," said Robert Turner, President and CEO of Tucker Mechanical. "Our employees wear hard hats on a daily basis for personal protection, and we are proud of their commitment to wear an EMCOR Pink Hard Hat for the month of October to raise awareness of breast cancer and how you can protect yourself by getting screened. As a Company that has built its reputation on being actively engaged in the concerns of our industry and our community, it's gratifying to demonstrate our support for breast cancer screening and awareness - standing with our dedicated employees, clients and partners."

 

Dr. Anees Chagpar commented, "Yale Cancer Center is honored to partner with EMCOR/Tucker to build breast cancer awareness through its "Protect Yourself." campaign. Breast cancer affects over 200,000 women in the U.S. each year, and the importance of screening and early detection of breast cancer cannot be underestimated. EMCOR/Tucker Mechanical's effort to increase awareness of breast cancer screening through the Pink Hard Hat initiative is an innovative way to remind women to make an appointment for their annual mammogram."

 

Among the attendees and speakers at the event will be breast cancer spokesperson from EMCOR, Maria Mattera, who will bring a personal perspective to the event. For many years, Maria has been at the heart of EMCOR's support of the issue of breast cancer, and is passionate about EMCOR's Pink Hard Hat Program.

 

For over ten years Tucker Mechanical has been working with the Yale community on construction projects, renovations, design build projects, energy projects, equipment upgrades, and more, at Yale-New Haven Medical Center, Yale School of Medicine, Yale University, and other facilities throughout the campus. Tucker is currently working on the Yale Central Power Plant/Boilers and Diesel Generator Upgrade/Increase, and the Yale Sterling Power Plant Cogeneration and Expansion.

 

EMCOR Group, Inc. and many of its 75 subsidiaries have long been supporters of breast cancer awareness. EMCOR Pink Hard Hat events will be taking place at locations in the U.S. and UK throughout October in order to raise awareness of breast cancer and its prevention. In addition, thousands of EMCOR's field workers throughout the U.S. and UK will be wearing EMCOR Pink Hard Hats at hundreds of job sites and locations throughout the month of October. "
