PHCPPros, a trusted name with more than 30 years of experience covering the plumbing, heating, cooling and piping industry, is proud to announce Cintas as the first Vanguard Sponsor of its new initiative, PROS REPS RUGGED Mind and Body. 

Filling the first of three exclusive Vanguard Sponsor spots, Cintas spearheads a group of industry leaders who will help PROS REPS RUGGED in its mission to improve the mental health and wellness of tradespeople. Cintas’ contributions at this highest level of sponsorship will help PROS REPS RUGGED provide practical insights through the following pathways: 

  • Social media campaigns 
  • Special RUGGED promotions for mental health awareness at PHCPPros Road Shows throughout the U.S. and other trade shows and conventions
  • A web page of resources at www.phcppros.com/prosreps
  • Monthly RUGGED e-newsletters
  • Weekly motivational SMS messages
  • A monthly RUGGED podcast 
  • Discounted wellness products and services for tradespeople
  • PROS REPS RUGGED print and digital magazine 
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Cintas as our first Vanguard Sponsor,” says PHCPPros Principal Cate Brown. “The company’s support will help PROS REPS RUGGED Mind and Body take our mission to the next level and meet our actionable goals to create, educate and advocate."

PROS PEPS RUGGED will use a holistic approach, as this is not a one-size-fits-all mission. What may work for some in the PHCP trades community may not work for others. Each month, PROS REPS RUGGED will deliver expertly curated content on the following topics:
  • Mental health – Real-life stories of tradespeople and strategies from experts for managing stress, burnout, and emotional well-being
  • Physical health – Tips and techniques from experts to keep tradespeople in peak condition on and off the job, as well as activity recommendations crowdsourced from the PHCP community
  • Nutrition - Advice and healthy recipes for fueling bodies with the right nutrition to stay energized
  • Training and Resources - Practical tools, workshops, and associations that can support the journey to better health
  • Products, addiction support, financial literacy, and more
“Tradespeople are the force by which our communities and infrastructures are built and maintained,” says Brown. “At PROS REPS RUGGED, we are keenly aware that being 'rugged' means more than just showing up for the job — it means staying strong in body, mind and spirit.”
