FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vaakawi Partners with Cleaning for a Reason to Provide Essential Support for Cancer Patients
PHOENIX, AZ – April 7, 2026 – Vaakawi, a premier family-owned commercial cleaning provider serving the Phoenix metropolitan area, is proud to announce a formal partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, a non-profit organization that provides free home cleaning services to individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
Through this collaboration, Vaakawi is expanding its mission of service beyond the commercial sector to provide direct, impactful relief to families navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis. By volunteering professional cleaning services, Vaakawi aims to create a sanctuary for patients, allowing them to focus entirely on their health and recovery.
“We are deeply honored to join forces with Cleaning for a Reason,” said Susan Bacahui, Vaakawi President of US Operations. “As a family-owned business, the spirit of giving back is woven into our foundation. We know that during a health crisis, a clean and sanitized environment provides more than just hygiene—it provides peace of mind. Supporting our neighbors when they are at their most vulnerable is the most meaningful work we can do.”
Vaakawi has established itself as a leader in the Arizona cleaning industry. While the company is widely recognized for managing large-scale operations—including State Farm Stadium, Arizona Financial Theatre, and various industrial facilities—this partnership marks a dedicated effort to apply their expertise toward community-focused philanthropy.
As a member of the ISSA (Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association) and the Better Business Bureau, Vaakawi brings a high standard of professional integrity and specialized cleaning protocols to the program. This partnership aligns Vaakawi with a prestigious international network of cleaning professionals committed to easing the physical and emotional burdens of cancer patients across North America.
“Our work has always been about creating spaces where people can thrive,” added Bacahui. “By partnering with Cleaning for a Reason, we’re making sure that 'thriving' starts at home, where it matters most.”
