Carpet One Raises $92K for Stephen Siller Foundation

Manchester, NH, September 27, 2017-Carpet One Floor & Home participated in the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation Annual T2T 5K Run & Walk in New York City on September 24.

The event honors the sacrifice of Firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001. The Tunnel to Towers foundation supports our first responders and our military through the Building for America’s Bravest organization. This organization builds smart homes for our most catastrophically injured veterans.

Carpet One Floor & Home’s team of over 200 store owners and employees raised an astounding $92,697 for the cause putting them in the top three fundraising teams at the event. Store owners traveled from all across the United States to participate in this event.

Carpet One Floor & Home has been supporting the Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation through active participation in their Building for America’s Bravest program since 2014. To date, they have installed flooring in 33 smart homes for catastrophically injured service members.

The Carpet One Floor & Home team dedicated their efforts to the memory of Mike Blanton, a Carpet One Floor & Home member who unexpectedly passed away this spring.

Members who were not able to attend the NYC event have also been participating through coordinating their own local events and collecting donations for the team.
