Join Carpet Network and Mohawk Flooring in the Fight against Breast Cancer

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 24, 2011 - Graham’s Carpet Network is asking the community to join the fight against breast cancer and participate in a Facebook campaign aimed at promoting disease prevention and awareness. Mohawk, the world’s largest flooring manufacturer and a leading supplier of Graham’s Carpet Network flooring, is using Facebook to help raise money for breast cancer research. For every new person who likes the Mohawk Facebook page during the month of October, Mohawk will donate $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® on that person’s behalf.

“October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and we want to do our part,” explained Monica Graham, of Graham’s Carpet Network. “We’re a local business that cares about our customers and our community. Partnering with Mohawk just seemed like a fun way we could all work together and make a big difference in the fight against this terrible disease.”

Graham says it’s rare to meet someone who hasn’t been touched by breast cancer in one way or another, and statistics show that’s no exaggeration. According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, breast cancer claims at least 40,000 lives annually in the U.S. More than 200,000 American women are diagnosed with the disease each year.

“These are our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and neighbors,” added Graham. “With just a few clicks of a computer mouse, you can help Mohawk give these women a second chance at life. It really is that easy.”

If you would like Mohawk to donate $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure on your behalf, visit www.Facebook.com/MohawkFlooring and “Like” the Mohawk Facebook page. Be sure to visit this website today, as the Mohawk Facebook fundraising campaign ends Monday, Oct. 31.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure® and Komen 3-Day for the Cure®, we have invested more than $1.9 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
