PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, is proud to announce the 2024 recipients of the prestigious PuroClean Cares Award: Gregory Arianoff and Christopher Sibel, Franchise Owners of PuroClean of The Big Island, in Hilo, HI. The award was presented during this year’s annual PuroClean International Convention, recognizing the duo’s unwavering dedication to community service and local engagement, including standout efforts like supporting Hawaii’s Annual Feed-a-Thon.

Selected from among hundreds of exceptional franchise locations across the U.S., PuroClean of The Big Island was recognized for embodying the mission of PuroClean Cares, the brand’s nationwide commitment that empowers Franchise Owners who serve their communities with passion and purpose. From disaster relief and charitable drives to year-round participation in causes that matter, Gregory and Christopher consistently go above and beyond to make a meaningful impact through initiatives like the PuroClean Cares National Superhero Day campaign and many others.

“My wife and I are both cancer survivors, so our main focus is to help both other survivors and anyone currently battling through it,” said Arianoff. “Outside of that, we want to help our community. Everyone thinks Hawaii is a beautiful vacation spot, full of sand and beaches, but that’s only one side of the island. The side we reside on is one of the top ten poorest places in the U.S., and that’s why we focus on supporting and sponsoring every community event we can. Mahalo to everyone who helped us achieve this mission.”

Gregory, a husband and father of two, devotes much of his time working with organizations in the Hilo community. As a cancer survivor, he channels his gratitude into action as a local leader for the American Cancer Society, supporting their efforts through fundraising and volunteer work. Together, he and Christopher actively engage in numerous PuroClean Cares campaigns throughout the year. Last year, PuroClean of the Big Island supported their adopted air rifle team of St. Joseph School in Hilo for their yearly PuroClean Cares Adopt A Classroom campaign, replacing outdated gear with brand-new equipment to help students succeed.

“Each year, the PuroClean Cares Award honors those who go above and beyond in their commitment to making a difference, and Gregory and Christopher embody that spirit,” said Steve White, President and COO of PuroClean. “Their commitment to giving back and supporting their community reflects the heart of our brand: integrity, community, and hard work. We are incredibly proud to recognize their efforts and grateful to have such inspiring individuals representing PuroClean in Hawaii.”
