For the past decade, Concept Surfaces has made an ongoing commitment to give back to its community, particularly during the holiday season. This year, the company will continue its timeless holiday tradition of making a charitable donation in the name of its clients, employees, manufacturers and partners, to one of a select group of non-profits.
More than 4,000 friends of Concept Surfaces will be invited to visit an online portal to choose from a list of worthwhile charities including: American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA), Feeding America and Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Over the last six years, Concept Surfaces has donated thousands of dollars to numerous non-profits through this initiative.
“These deserving non-profit organizations have been chosen by our clients and employees over the years. We strive to be good corporate citizens and make a positive impact in the communities we serve, specifically for the charities our staff and customers are passionate about. This program started because of the support we receive from our clients, employees, manufacturers and partners throughout the year, and we believe this is a successful way to honor them while allowing us to provide timeless support to those in need,” said Geoff Gross, president and CEO of Concept Surfaces.
However, the holidays are not the only time Concept Surfaces gives back. Soon after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the company named one of its tile series “Sandy Hook” to commemorate the children and teachers who lost their lives. In honor of the tragedy, the company donates a portion of sales of this series to the National Mental Health Association throughout the year.
“The best way to get in the holiday spirit is by giving a gift that supports non-profits who need ongoing donations and support. As a business, we feel it is important to give back to the community with our contributions and by demonstrating generous spirit, and we plan to give a portion of what we earn to those in need for many years to come,” added Gross.
