Dealer Spotlight: Meet Hortons Home Lighting!

What You Like About Fanimation: “Fanimation represents everything I like about this industry. The industry is comprised of several small, family-owned businesses that get involved at the industry level to really make a difference—and that’s Fanimation,” John says. “Hortons and Fanimation have grown up together, and today Fanimation is our number one fan company. We can count on them for the basic, everyday workhorse fans, to the unique, niche ones that really stand out. There’s a great team at Fanimation and the culture is one of support. They are focused on working with their partners and our team appreciates that.”

What We Should Know about Hortons Home Lighting: “We’re really proud to be one of the premier lighting showrooms in the Chicago market,” he says. “Our culture is one of client service, and when someone walks into our stores or calls us, we work hard to carry that out and provide a good experience.”

Taking on the Fight Against Cancer: In 2000, Hortons had two associates diagnosed with cancer. One—a young mom—lost her battle. “As a family-owned business, that really impacted us. We quickly learned that this disease has touched almost everyone in some way. And we wanted to do something about it,” John says. The result was The H Foundation and its annual Goombay Bash fundraiser. The first year, the foundation sought to raise $20,000 for cancer research. It greatly exceeded that, raising over $100,000! Since its inception, The H Foundation has raised more than $7 million for cancer research. “It’s amazing what everyday people can do when they share a passion,” John says.
