BEREA, Ohio – A local UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage owner helped thirsty football fans weather the heat and stay hydrated in August at the public training camp events for the Cleveland Browns.
Larry Lang, owner of UNITS of NE Ohio, is a long-time fan and supporter of the Cleveland Browns, the city’s National Football League team. This summer, he found an opportunity to merge his entrepreneurial spirit with his fandom. Lang donated three of his company's storage containers to the Browns' training camp at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea throughout August. These weren't just any containers — the Browns stocked them with bottled water, available for free to attendees during the eight public practices.
"I've been a Browns fan my entire life, and owning a local business gives me a platform to give back," Lang said. "Providing these UNITS containers for community hydration during the training days is a practical way to enhance everyone's experience."
A Community Ally
UNITS of NE Ohio is a local franchise of a national brand specializing in portable storage solutions. The containers are weather-resistant and come in two sizes, 12-ft. and 16-ft. But it's not just the product that makes UNITS stand out. It's the company's commitment to community involvement, as evidenced by Lang's recent donation.
UNITS of NE Ohio is a community asset that recognizes the importance of civic engagement. Lang's donation to the Browns' training camp demonstrates both the utility of UNITS' offerings and the company's commitment to local well-being. The storage units are high-quality constructed containers featuring barn-style doors and all-steel construction.
“Our mission is to supply high-quality equipment and provide personal, mom-and-pop type customer service. Donating our equipment for this community event was an easy and effective way for us to give back to local residents who have a passion for football,” Lang added.
Summer training camps are exciting but can be exhausting, especially in the heat. The availability of free bottled water was more than a courtesy, it was a health precaution. Lang's contribution addressed a real need and enhanced the overall experience for fans.
The open practices were designed to create an immersive, family-friendly atmosphere with engaging activities to enjoy while watching the team prepare for the upcoming season. Some highlights included an animal adoption event, a 40-yard dash, autograph opportunities, and a school supply drive.
