Mohawk Group's Dedication to Fighting Breast Cancer: Our Inspiring Journey

Breast cancer is a battle that has touched the lives of many, and at Mohawk Group, we've made it our mission to stand by those affected. Our enduring partnership with Susan G. Komen® is not just a corporate initiative but a heartfelt commitment that has been a part of our journey since 2001. In this blog post, we're excited to share with you how Mohawk Group is making a difference in the fight against breast cancer through our Specify for a Cure® program.

A Partnership For a Cause

Our dedication to the fight against breast cancer runs deep. It's not just a cause; it's a personal journey for many of us within the Mohawk community, including our employees, architects, designers, and valued customers. Breast cancer has touched our lives, and we are determined to make a meaningful impact.

Specify for a Cure®: Your Power to Make a Difference

At the heart of our commitment lies the Specify for a Cure® program. This initiative allows you, our customers and supporters, to join us in this important battle. Here's how it works: when you specify eligible Mohawk Group products, we, in turn, make a donation on your behalf to Susan G. Komen®. It's a simple yet powerful way for you to contribute to a cause that matters deeply to us all.

A Personal Story from Rhiannon Adams, SVP Commercial Markets

“In an era where companies seek to contribute to meaningful causes and the greater good, I find our Specify for a Cure program in partnership with the Komen organization a terrific way of supporting men and women navigating very uncertain and stressful health situations.  I don’t know anyone untouched by cancer and the detrimental effects it can impose on both patients and caregivers.  I am so proud Mohawk has supported the Susan G. Komen foundation for 22 years as we all work together to find a cure for breast cancer.  Lastly, as a former commercial interior designer, programs like Specify for a Cure, are great ways to make your specs really count!

Royce Epstein, Director of Design, Shares Her Story
“Nine years ago, I faced the devastating news of a breast cancer diagnosis, a moment that forever altered my world. It served as a stark reminder of the profound importance of prevention and early detection. For those who have received a similar diagnosis, know that there is an abundance of help and support available.

Today, I am immensely proud to be a part of a company that, year-round, stands firmly with the Susan G. Komen foundation. Our partnership isn't just about financial resources; it's about providing hope to millions of breast cancer patients and their families.

I'm grateful to say that I am okay today, a testament to the progress we've made in fighting this disease. By specifying select flooring styles through our Specify for a Cure program, we give back to a program that extends a helping hand when it's needed most. This partnership means that, as a survivor, I can continue my design work every day knowing that together we are contributing to a world where breast cancer is less devastating and more hopeful."
