  We give a hoot…

  Roots. There’s always that something special about your roots—where it all began. As you might know, Company C started in New Hampshire out of the owners’ garage, and today we continue to run our corporate offices and design studio out of the Granite State. As a salute to our roots, we recently partnered with New Hampshire Audubon Society, an organization with the mission to protect New Hampshire’s natural environment for wildlife and for the people. It was a perfect match: It’s our mission every day to enhance people’s surroundings and inspire them to share the joys of Colorful Living (and we like to do this through more than just home furnishings). Especially in the autumn, New Hampshire’s landscapes transform into an inspirational palette of colors and textures. Company C values its beautiful home; it made perfect sense to contribute to maintaining its beauty…

  Dedicated to a world without breast cancer….

  Our first-time Passion for Pink event was very successful! We would like to thank all of you who participated; as a result of your support Company C will be making a donation of nearly $40,000 to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. For two-days, Company C donated 15% of sales from our website; three retail stores in Hingham, MA, Portland, ME and Concord, NH; national base of wholesale customers; and our tradeshow in High Point, NC to benefit national and local breast cancer awareness, research and education.

  We had customers coming in because of our “color with a cause” theme, and they were drawn into our space because of the interactive board and color pink. Reading all of the quotes on the interactive board was extremely inspirational. Customers paid tribute to loved ones, signed their names, posted quotes, etc.

  We worked with Becky Burke, chair of the Komen VT-NH Race for the Cure.  We were very excited to call her with the results. Seventy-five percent of the donation will be dedicated to local community breast cancer education, treatment and screening programs. So the donation will make a real impact in both New Hampshire and Vermont.. The remaining twenty-five percent will go to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program to fund breast cancer research. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.komen.org or call 1.800.IMAWARE.

  Share your passion for pink!

  We recently announced that we’ll donating 15% of ALL sales on October 17 & 18 to breast cancer awareness, education and advocacy. Our goal is to contribute funding for research that could improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This life-threatening disease continues to have an impact across the globe and here at home. We’re inspired to find new and innovative ways to get involved as we dream of a world without cancer.

  To publicly show our support, our retail stores and showroom in High Point, NC will display an interactive message board during the month of October. The boards were unveiled today! We’re inviting everyone to share the passion of pink…our guests are encouraged to write on the wall: a tribute to a close friend or family member, your own personal story, a donation in your name to a terrific cause or what pink means to you. If you’re unable to make it to a Company C retail location or the High Point, simply respond to this blog post and we’ll write the message on your behalf.

  We’ll also be promoting our Sachi Pink 2×3 accent rug. This rug is available year-round with 20% of the sale of each rug going to support breast cancer.
