CCA Global/FCIF Golf Tournament Most Successful Ev
Atlanta, GA, October 12, 2006--CCA Global Partners held their 4th Annual FCIF Golf Tournament near Atlanta on Thursday, September 28, 2006. Floor covering industry colleagues and leaders gathered for a day full of golf to raise funds for The Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF), a philanthropic organization dedicated to assisting floor covering industry members in times of need.
This year the fundraising effort reached a new milestone, raising $155,000 for the cause. CCA Global co-CEOs and co-Chairmen Howard Brodsky and Alan Greenberg were thrilled that their annual tradition, started in 2003, has reached this level.
“Before each annual tournament we set a new donation goal and we continue to reach that goal every year, thanks to the support of our friends and colleagues in the flooring industry,” said Greenberg. “It’s a great honor to be able to present the donation check on behalf of CCA Global Partners to the FCIF each September.”
“As always, this was an exciting and enjoyable event,” continued Brodsky. “It has become an annual tradition for many of our friends in the industry to join us for a day of golf and a great reception to benefit this wonderful organization. Alan and I really appreciate everyone’s participation and support for the FCIF and we hope to continue this tradition for years to come.”
This year, 131 golfers participated in the tournament and more than 150 industry colleagues attended the reception and dinner following the golf outing.
During the first three tournaments, CCA Global Partners raised more than $350,000 for the FCIF, surpassing the previous year’s donation each year.
Flooring industry leaders and other CCA Global Partners colleagues traveled from all over North America to play at the beautiful Evergreen Marriott Resort 18-hole golf course on September 28th and to enjoy the dinner and reception afterwards. CCA Global Partners presented awards for the top three golf foursomes, along with longest putt, straightest drive, closest to the pin and longest drive.
