ness month to Kanoes for Kids and an-
nual community turkey drives. One effort
that Mottershead is particularly proud of
is GCP’s involvement in the Bell Project at
the Alan B. Pearson Regional Cancer Cen-
ter in Lynchburg, Virginia.
When Sandra Brookshire, the wife of GCP
consultant and sales rep Larry Brookshire,
was diagnosed with breast cancer for the
second time in 2013, the couple decided to
donate a large bell to the hospital, encour-
aging patients to ring the bell at the end
of their radiation and chemotherapy treat-
ments as a form of motivation. In an effort
to commemorate those special moments,
GCP decided to donate a small personal
silver bell to each patient. In the first week
alone, 25 bells were donated and the tradi-
tion is still going strong.
From 2004 to 2014, GCP experienced 10-
fold growth, Mottershead said, adding that
he would like to see the company achieve
those numbers in another 10 years. As the
resourceful organization continues to shift
to meet the market’s demands and needs,
it’s clear that this is not a goal that’s out of
reach.
