Hooker Furniture and Furnitureland South jointly presented a check for $1,100 to officials of the N.C. Triad Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The contribution was collected through a month-long charity contest for furniture shoppers, designers and retailers, and a fall High Point Market sweepstakes in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Hooker’s Bedford, Va.-based Sam Moore division custom-produced two modern club chairs covered in a fuchsia pink and green fabric, accented with an ikat kidney pillow. The “Hope” chair was offered as the prize in an online sweepstakes in which both companies jointly made a donation to “Susan G. Komen for the Cure” for each person who became a fan or follower of the two brands via their respective social media channels. A duplicate chair was also displayed in front of the Sam Moore showroom during the international High Point Market in October. The online sweepstakes winner was Mickey Maggiano of Philadelphia, Pa. The winner of the chair on display at the High Point Market was interior designer, Anne Aulbert, of Anne Aulbert Designs in Hillsborough, N.C.
Anna Eichhorn, executive director of the N.C Triad Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, said that 25 percent of the contribution will go directly to finding a cure through breast cancer research “while the balance will be used for breast cancer screening, prevention, education and treatment.”
