Cummings Donates a Million Pennies
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling Donates a Million Pennies to Arizona’s Children Association
Tucson, AZ.: Arizona’s Children Association (ACA) is one of the largest organizations that provides support to children in need. From foster care and adoption services to family preservation and reunification, they help Arizona’s children through a variety of means. For the last 5 years, 95.9 KIIM-FM has hosted a penny pinch to help raise funds for the programs that the ACA offers. These funds stay in Tucson and go to help families in need during the Christmas season and after. This year, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling challenged Tucson – penny for penny – to help raise one million pennies ($10,000). As of 8:30 am on December 21st, the goal of a million pennies had been reached and matched; a total of over two million one hundred thousand pennies had been received…and it’s not over yet!

“This is so exciting,” said Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “When we were working with KIIM-FM on this, I was trying to come up with a way to get Tucson involved to help raise funds for this great cause; instead of just giving them the million pennies that they always try to raise every year. The penny for penny match seemed like an amazing idea. Historically, they’d always been able to raise a million pennies…but this time, with a match on the line, it meant that we could double that and do twice as much good…this made it all the more exciting. To present the check to the ACA this morning was such a wonderful feeling. It shows that Tucson really cares and it’s just a reminder of what an amazing community we live in. Whenever a challenge calls, we come together as a community to meet the challenge head on. That’s what I love about Tucson. So many kids are forgotten over the holidays that don’t have anything or anyone. I’m so glad that we were able to rally together to make something great happen for them.”

“This was so much fun,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “When we heard about this penny pinch idea, we were so excited to become involved. Christmas is the season to give and there are so many people who are unintentionally forgotten because they fall through the cracks. It’s so nice that the ACA is there to help do so much for these kids and the families in need that reach out to them. It is our hope that the season of giving doesn’t just stop after December 25th but that the spirit of the season stays with everyone into the new year. These days, there are so many things that people can do to help pay it forward. I’m so glad that we were able to exceed the goal and help donate to such a wonderful cause. From all of us here at Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

Kevin Cummings Receive Belling from Ben’s Bells

Kevin Cummings Receives Belling from Ben’s Bells
Kevin Cummings is Honored for being the Epitome of Kind by Ben’s Bells
Tucson, AZ.: Ben’s Bells wants to honor those in Tucson who inspire kindness daily, making our community a better place to live. Whether it is a grocer, a child’s crossing guard, a co-worker, or a youth who is making a difference in the community through kindness, Ben’s Bells would like to celebrate their kindness by “belling” them – presenting them with a Ben’s Bell and a Ben’s Bells gift pack. Once a week, the Ben’s Bells Belling committee combs through the numerous submissions and selects one person to receive a belling. This week, it was Kevin Cummings.

Kevin was nominated for the belling by one of his employees. The nomination read: Kevin is such a wonderful and caring boss. He really takes care of us as employees. Not only does he pay us extremely well, he hired someone to cook us breakfast and lunch every day. We also have a ton of food at the office for anyone who wants it, an entire freezer dedicated to just ice cream, popcorn machines, nachos, and he will randomly do nice things for us – just because. He’s also like a father figure. He truly cares about what happens to us as employees and as human beings. He takes time to listen to our wants and needs, his door is always open, and he makes it known that he really wants the best for us. He’s constantly reinvesting in us and providing ways for us to make more money and further advance in our career paths. The things that he does as a boss is well over and beyond what’s necessary for an employer. When I’m at work, it’s like I’m home…I’m with family. Kevin has worked really hard to create and cultivate that environment for us. Kevin truly is the epitome of kind.

“I am extremely grateful for this belling,” said Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “I don’t see what I’m doing as anything special; per se. I just see it as being a decent human being who has a good moral compass. The things that I do for my employees are done because I see them as more then employees. They are an extension of who I am; they are my family. I treat them like I would my own children. At the end of the day, I believe that everyone needs to feel cared for, regardless of who they are. All that we’re searching for in life is to matter to someone. I make it a point to let my employees know every day that they matter to me.”

“Kevin deserves this award for being such an amazing person,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “He’s such a humble and quiet guy…always doing something to better the company so that they employees can benefit from our growth and success. I see Kevin working so hard to provide for those who work for him…asking for nothing in return. He’s truly invested in the employees and does what he can to ensure that everyone has opportunities to succeed and be fulfilled. That’s not something that is commonly found in the workplace. Having won Best Boss of 2018, receiving this belling reiterates the kind of man he is. But Kevin is more than a boss, he’s a leader. Congratulations, Kevin.”

“When I found out Kevin was going to receive a belling, I wasn’t surprised,” said Elaine Cummings, wife of Kevin Cummings. “Every day, I see him making choices for the business. But what people don’t see is that he’s not working hard for the business, he’s working hard for our employees. In everything he does, he does it naturally because that’s who he is. He was raised this way by his parents. I know that his dad is up in heaven just beaming right now. We’re all so proud of him and so grateful to be a part of this wonderful journey.”

Cummings Flag at Half Mast for Sept 11

Cummings Plumbing Flies Flag at Half Mast
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling Flies Flag At Half Mast in Remembrance of The Lives Lost and Those Affected from Sept 11th, 2001
Tucson, AZ.: On September 11th, 2001, America was attacked by an Islamic terrorist group named al-Qaeda. The attacks killed 2,996 people, injured 6,000 others, and caused at least 10 billion dollars in infrastructure and property damage. Since the attack, additional people have died due to 9/11 related cancer and respiratory diseases. Four planes hijacked, four different targets marked, and thousands of lives paid the price. Time stood still that day; not just for America but all across the world. The attack was unprecedented and lives in infamy. Today, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling flies their flag at half mast to remember all those affected by these attacks.

“It’s still hard to think back on the events of that day,” said Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “I can still remember exactly what I was doing and where I was when the first announcements came out about the attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers. Tucson went into lockdown because of the Air Force Base and Raytheon. It’s surreal, thinking about how long ago this happened…17 years ago. Kids these days are learning about this event in textbooks…while to me, and probably most of the people who were alive when the attack happened, still remember it like it was yesterday. Today, I’m going to ask a huge favor of everyone. Take a moment to be kind. Do a random act of kindness to show love to someone today. All those lives…all those families…not one of them thought that they’d leave for work to never return. People were just going about their business. What would they have done differently, or taken the time to say, if they knew it was going to be their last? Let’s make this day count for them. Let’s take this day and remember the good. Let’s choose to remember how America came together. Let’s choose to see how we fought back as a nation. Let’s choose to see that we’re still standing here today; proud and strong. We were not defeated on September 11th, 2001. This attack had the opposite effect on our nation than intended. Instead of making us weaker, it made us stronger. Let’s never forget that.”

“It’s been 17 years and our nation is still mourning,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “Rightfully so. Whenever I think about the live feeds of the Twin Towers, the images of bodies dropping out of the sky, the burning buildings, the final collapse…I am brought back to that day. I can close my eyes and see the pictures replay like a video montage. I remember calling family and friends…gathering together…sitting in silence. What was there to say? In all of the calm and quiet, I remember saying a prayer. Not for the lives lost but for the ones still living. I can’t even begin to imagine what they went through and are still going through. Like Kevin said, take a moment today to be nice and do something kind. Take the time to tell those you love that you love them. We live in a fruitful and great nation. Let’s ‘Never Forget’.”

Winners and Favorites for Readers’ Choice Best of 2018 Announced
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling Receives Tucson Favorite for Four Different Categories and Best of 2018 for One Category at this year’s Readers’ Choice Best of 2018 Award Ceremony
Tucson, AZ.: Every year, the Arizona Daily Star and Tucson.com hold a contest where readers in the community can nominate and vote for their favorite businesses in a variety of different categories. Since the contest started in 2015, over 430,000 votes have been cast for Tucsonans favorite businesses. Last year, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling was proud to be the recipient of the Readers’ Choice 2017 Award for Best Plumber. This year, the company was up for four categories: Best Plumber, Best Air Conditioning/Heating Service, Most Innovative Workplace, and Best Workplace Culture. In addition, Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, was up for Best Boss. At the annual awards ceremony on August 29th, 2018, held at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort and Spa, Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling received Tucson Favorite for Best Plumber, Best Air Conditioning/Heating Service, Most Innovative Workplace, and Best Workplace Culture. Kevin Cummings won for Best Boss.

“It was incredible and unreal…” said Kevin Cummings. “As they were making the announcement of winners and got to Best Boss, I’m not even sure if I remembered hearing that I won. All I remember is that everyone at the two tables we had erupted in cheer. People stood up, I saw high-fives, people were yelling, hugs were given…it was chaos for a few seconds. As soon as it registered to me that I won, I was overcome with both a feeling of pride and humility…if that’s possible. I was proud because I won this amazing award. Best Boss in Tucson for 2018…that’s crazy! But it was an extremely humbling feeling to know that my employees view me this way. I am so lucky because I am surrounded by amazing people; people that have my best interest at heart. If there was a category for Best Employees, my crew would win for sure. To top that off, we are also Tucson Favorites for four other incredible categories, including Most Innovative Workplace and Best Workplace Culture. To know that we, a plumbing company, are thought of as having an innovative workplace and best workplace culture…there are no words to describe that feeling. It makes sense for us to be in the Best Plumber and Best Air Conditioning/Heating Service categories…but these two other categories confirmed that we are really set apart from others in our industry. It was an amazing night and I just want to say, ‘Thank you,’ to everyone who helped make this happen.”

“Oh…this was so well deserved and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “Kevin has worked so hard to build this company and the culture that we have today. I can’t think of a better person to win the award for Best Boss. He has gone way above and beyond to ensure that our employees are taken care of. The employees at Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling are very lucky to be working for one of the best people that I know. In addition, we’re lucky to have our incredibly amazing employees. The two go hand-in-hand. Because of them, we are Tucson Favorites for four other categories. This just goes to show that you reap what you sow. Life is about synergy and at Cummings, we are doing all of the right things to make a great company happen naturally. I just want to take a minute to say, ‘Kevin, well deserved. You are doing an incredible job. You earned it.’ To our employees, ‘Thank you for your loyalty, dedication, and for everything you do. Your hard work and efforts do not go unnoticed.’ To Tucson, ‘It’s been an amazing year and it will only get better. Thank you for your support.'”

Cummings Plumbing Sponsors Arizona Athletics
Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling Becomes a Proud Sponsor of Arizona Athletics
Tucson, AZ.: Driving from the airport on S Tucson BLVD towards E Benson Hwy, it’s hard to miss the billboard that says, “Wildcat Country”. That’s what Tucson is known for: the Arizona Wildcats. As a part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division and a member of the Pac-12 Conference, the Wildcats are the athletic teams that represent the University of Arizona. With the ever expanding footprint of the University of Arizona, the Wildcats are at the heart of most Tucsonans; intertwined into its culture. It’s no wonder then, why Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling decided to sponsor Arizona Athletics to support the Wildcats.

“I have been a Wildcat fan since I was a teenager and moved to Arizona,” said Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “After moving here, I quickly learned that a lot of people here bleed red and blue. The fans supporting the Wildcats are like nothing I’d seen before. After living here for over 37 years, being a Wildcat fan comes as naturally to me as breathing. When we got approached with the opportunity to be a [proud] sponsor of Arizona Athletics and support the Wildcats, it was a slam dunk for me. I was so excited. It’s a real honor for us to be supporting something that I’ve been a huge fan of with since I was a teen. With the support we’ve received from Tucson, I am proud to give back to Tucson by supporting something I know they love: the Wildcats. Bear Down, Arizona!”

“Putting together this sponsorship was so exciting for us,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “College sports are so much fun because the athletes really play with their hearts. [And] even though we put these athletes on pedestals and look at them like celebrities, at the end of the day, they’re really just college students. The funds given to Arizona Athletics helps to support these students athletes. It’s so nice to be able partner up and do something that will positively impact Tucson and the people who live, work, eat, and play here. ”

In addition to that, I wonder if the things I’m doing would meet the approval of those who preceded me. With this news, I know that my dad is looking down on me and that he’s beaming with pride and excitement. He was my biggest fan and he was everything to me. My dad left me this company; his legacy. I’m glad that I can make him proud. I am deeply moved when I think about how far we’ve come as a business and of all of our accomplishments. This, of course, would not have happened without the hard work, dedication, and loyalty of all of my employees. They are the ones who make things happen on a daily basis.

Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling flies flag at half-staff to honor State Trooper Tyler Edenhofer
Tucson, AZ.: If you’ve watched the news, browsed your social media account, or have talked to anyone in the public sector, you probably have heard of the tragic events that led to the death of State Trooper Tyler Edenhofer.

“This tragedy is an all too real and heartbreaking reminder of the harm our heroic law enforcement officers face each and everyday for the safety and wellbeing of Arizonans, and for peace in our communities.
This morning I ask Arizonans to join me in prayer and reflection; in gratitude for Trooper Edenhofer’s service to our state, for the strength and health of Trooper Dorris, for both of their grieving families, and for all of our brave law enforcement officers who are mourning the loss of one of their own. Arizona stands in support with you all.

“I’ve directed all flags at state buildings be lowered to half-staff immediately until sunset tomorrow, Friday, July 27, 2018.” – Governor Doug Ducey, State of Arizona [1]

Kevin Cummings, Owner of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling, had this to say, “We stand in solidarity with the State of Arizona and those who Edenhofer left behind; his fiancee and his mother. This was a tragedy that did not need to happen. There is never a reason for the loss of an innocent life. We are saddened by the events that have occurred and want to let everyone in Tucson know that we are mourning. Everyone here at Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling has had to endure the loss of a family member, loved one, or friend before. Death is not something that escapes us. We know and understand the pain. However, it is always hardest when the loss comes unexpectedly and too soon.”

“He was so young,” said Elaine Lee, Office Manager of Cummings Plumbing Heating and Cooling. “I keep reading the online articles and the words Edenhofer’s mother said to the DPS Director Col. Frank Milstead, ‘You just got him,’[2] keeps ringing in my ears. As a mother, I can only imagine what the family is going through. We want everyone to know that our hearts are with you through this time. We stand in support with you.”
