Carpet One Joins Fight Against Breast Cancer

Manchester, NH, October 6--Carpet One is joining the fight against breast cancer with a cause-related fundraising campaign, "Carpet One Welcomes Your Support," which kicks off this October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During the month of October, more than 700 Carpet One retail stores throughout the U.S. will donate all profits from sales of specially designed welcome mats to the American Cancer Society. Through this campaign, the leading floor covering retailer will raise a minimum of $250,000, specifically earmarked for breast cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services. The grassroots initiative will also raise breast cancer awareness in local communities throughout the U.S. "Our customers are effected by and care about this disease. By joining the American Cancer Society in the fight against breast cancer, we are working to assist with an issue that impacts our customers, our communities, our friends and our families," said Dean Marcarelli, Carpet One Co-Chief Operating Officer. Consumers can support the cause with purchases of these beautiful custom-designed welcome mats, each emblazoned with a pink ribbon design, the internationally recognized symbol for breast cancer awareness: ·“Tree of Life.” Features a traditional design of intertwined vines in moss green hues along a black background. ·“Stripes of Hope.” Presents a modern look with its bold graphic design of thin vertical stripes in alternating shades of cranberry red, slate blue, moss green and black. ·“Everlasting Evergreen.” Integrates tonal shades of dark to light green fern patterns silhouetted against a dark background. Made of plush nylon, the welcome mats are water and stain resistant, machine-washable, and can be used both indoors and out. All three welcome mats will be available exclusively at Carpet One stores for $19.99 each. Consumers can visit www.carpetone.com or call 800-CARPET-1 to locate their nearest store.
