Each year, Cellino Plumbing Heating & Cooling runs an Annual Truck Wrap Contest for the nonprofits in our community. The contest mimics the March Madness bracket. Nonprofit organizations are nominated for the contest and then added to a voting bracket where they go head-to-head with competing organizations. The community can participate and vote on the bracket throughout the entirety of the contest. The winner of the Truck Wrap Contest then has the opportunity to create a design that will be co-branded on one of the trucks in our fleet. Along with that, the winning organization receives a monthly donation check throughout the entirety of the year.
