GOETTL SUPPORTS THE FIGHT AGAINST COLON CANCER AS PRESENTING SPONSOR OF GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR 5K
LAS VEGAS, Nev., March 14, 2025 — Goettl, a leader in heating, air conditioning, and plumbing services, is proud to once again sponsor the Get Your Rear in Gear 5K, taking place on May 3, 2025. This annual race, organized by the Colon Cancer Coalition, raises awareness and funds for colon cancer screening, research, and patient support.
This marks Goettl’s second consecutive year supporting the event, following its impactful participation in 2024, when the company was recognized as the largest corporate team in attendance. The event holds special significance for the Goettl team, as Michelle Horvath, a dedicated Goettl associate and the Event Director for the race, is a colon cancer patient.

“Get Your Rear in Gear is more than a race—it’s a movement. It’s about bringing people together, breaking the silence around colon cancer, and saving lives through awareness and early detection,” said Michelle Horvath. “I am beyond grateful to have Goettl in this fight. Their continued support is not just for me, but for everyone impacted by this disease.”
As a company built on service, integrity, and care for the community, Goettl is honored to once again take a leading role in supporting this cause. Colon cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early, yet it remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Through this sponsorship, Goettl hopes to encourage more people to get screened and support those facing the disease.
“At Goettl, we believe in showing up for our people and our communities. When Michelle shared her story, we knew we had to step up and do something meaningful,” said Kent Duncombe, VP of Human Resources at Goettl. “Our team showed up in full force last year, and we’re ready to do it again.”
The Get Your Rear in Gear 5K welcomes runners, walkers, and supporters of all ages. Participants can join the event in person or virtually, with all funds raised going toward local screening and prevention initiatives, patient and family support, and colon cancer research.
Goettl encourages associates, customers, and community members to get involved—whether by registering for the race, donating, or simply helping spread the word about the importance of screening and early detection.
