Atlanta Countertops Company Premier Surfaces Takes a Shave to Support Employee with Cancer

    ATLANTA, GA, March 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Employees at Atlanta granite countertop fabricator Premier Surfaces have shaved their heads to support one of their own. When a beloved team member learned that she would be undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, she made the brave decision to shave her head instead of letting the chemo take her hair. The men at Atlanta granite counters supplier Premier Surfaces felt it was important to lend her moral support, and roughly 20 of them shaved their heads with her.

The employee was diagnosed with breast cancer in December of 2011, and began her first chemotherapy treatment two weeks later. Before her second round of chemo, she shaved her head to help avoid the painful hair loss that accompanies chemotherapy. Upon learning about her shaved head, the executives at Atlanta countertops company Premier Surfaces hired a barber to come in and shave the heads of anyone who wanted to show support.

"It has been so wonderful to see the men who work here rally behind our friend and co-worker," exclaimed Dara Summers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Premier Surfaces. "I was really blown away by the resounding moral support our team have shown during her struggle. I know we all hope her treatments are successful and that she makes a complete recovery."

A close-knit team, the employees at Premier Surfaces are as dedicated to each other as they are to their customers. This is not the first time that the Atlanta granite fabricators have shown their generosity, having held a fundraiser for an employee's hospitalized child in 2011 and reaching out to the community on other occasions as well.
