Mohawk, Harvey Norman Stage 'Sing-Off'

Dalton, GA, April 20, 2011 -- A lighthearted wager over singing skills between Mohawk and Harvey Norman Flooring of Australia resulted in a fundraiser for the United Way of Northwest Georgia.

On April 13, the two companies staged a “Battle of the Ballads” singing showcase at the Dalton Golf and Country Club.

Approximately 250 guests watched as Mohawk’s Steve Powers and Harvey Norman’s Shaun McGovern competed for the title of best singer, to settle a bet they had made with each other in Shanghai.

The “Battle of the Ballads” raised more than $6,500 in contributions, including $1,500 as top bid when McGovern auctioned the authentic Australian Rugby shirt he wore during his singing performance.

Harvey Norman is Australia’s leading retail chain.
