Chubb Fire and Security provides free monitoring and response services to the Pietermaritzburg and District Cerebral Palsy Association

Durban, South Africa, 5 November 2013 - Chubb Fire and Security has pledged its support to the Pietermaritzburg and District Cerebral Palsy Association (CPA) providing a free monitoring and response service to the organisation. One of the country's leading fire and security organisations, Chubb Fire and Security is part of UTC Climate, Controls and Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX). The Pietermaritzburg & District Cerebral Palsy Association (CPA) was established in 1979 to address the needs of individuals and their families affected by Cerebral Palsy in Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas of Kwa Zulu-Natal, South Africa. "We are delighted at the support Chubb has shown us and are exceptionally grateful for their generous and timeous donation," said Sarah Rule, Chairperson of the Management Committee of the Pietermaritzburg and District Cerebral Palsy Association. "An association such as ours is dependent on donor funds and our ability to positively impact and contribute to improving the quality of life of children affected by cerebral palsy is dependent on the support of our donors," continued Rule. Bridget Aves, regional managing director of Chubb Fire and Security Kwa Zulu-Natal said her organisation was only too willing to assist an organisation who performed an important function within Pietermaritzburg and surrounding rural communities in attending to and supporting cerebral palsy children and their families.
