Carpet One Program Supports Cancer Research

Manchester, NH, March 24, 2008--Now in its fourth year, Carpet One Floor & Home is once again supporting breast cancer research and awareness with the Spring 2008 Carpet One Floor & Home Welcomes Your Support Campaign.

Store locations throughout North America continue raising funds through the sale of exclusive, limited edition pink ribbon welcome mats specially designed for Carpet One Floor & Home. Twenty-five percent of U.S. sales go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), while 25% of sales in Canada go to Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) breast cancer research and support programs.

The campaign will reach a cumulative total of over $630,000 in donated funds since its inception in 2004.

"To know that Carpet One Floor & Home has raised over half a million dollars through the sale of pink ribbon welcome mats for such an important cause," says Eric Demaree, president of Carpet One Floor & Home, "makes me very proud. Our families, friends, customers, and communities are affected by this cause. It is an honor to join the BCRF and the CCS each fall and spring in their mission to eliminate this disease."

The welcome mats are available from April through June at Carpet One Floor & Home stores for approximately $21.99.
