Flooring Industry Gathers for FCIF's Cocktails for a Cause
The flooring industry family gathered in Rocky Face, Georgia, on April 27 for Cocktails for a Cause, an evening of fellowship, fundraising and raising awareness, hosted by Mary Helen and Will Young, for Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF). FCIF's mission is to get families back on their feet when battling catastrophic injuries, severe disabilities, or other life-altering medical crises.
"We are excited to be here with our board members, donors and friends to educate people about the Floor Covering Industry Foundation," said FCIF Executive Director Andrea Blackbourn. "We help people who have catastrophic health conditions—some have late-stage cancer, they have a child born with a disability, they have something that makes them not able go to work, we have installers who have spent years working on their knees and they can't work anymore. We have given $800,000 to families across the country and right now we have 50 families who have open cases we are working with."
