| From Jeff Carter, Executive Director of Habitat for
Humanity of Greater Indianapolis:
“This is really going that extra step, showing
the caring and commitment of the community to these
homes and the new homeowners. The addition of tile
flooring with its durability and attractiveness will
add significant value to our partner families’ homes.
We are proud to have the tile industry partners on
board with us in this project.”
From Jim Dougherty, Crossville’s Vice President
of Marketing and Business Development:
“Crossville is a big believer in the work of
Habitat for Humanity and we're particularly appreciative
of the work of TPFH, which has given our company the
opportunity to contribute tile to worthwhile projects
throughout the country. Our involvement with TPFH last
year produced truly excellent results."
From Keith Moerdyk, Residential Sales Coordinator
for Crossville, Inc.:
"Crossville has donated tile to several TPFH
projects around the country, but this was the first
time I had the opportunity to work on one of the homes.
The work itself was so enjoyable, I found that the
day just flew by. And meeting the homeowners was incredibly
uplifting; I was so impressed that many of them came
to work on their homes – cleaning up after the
contractors and volunteers, painting, doing whatever
was needed to get their homes ready."
From Randy Parker, President of Louisville Tile:
“Part of Louisville Tile’s mission as
a company is to be a friend to our community and a
leader in our industry. We were ready and honored to
join Tile Partners for Humanity in this effort because
it’s a natural extension of our company’s
50-year history of giving back.”
From Adam Beck, Store Manager of Louisville Tile’s
Indianapolis location:
“Overall, it was a great experience for me.
I was given the opportunity to speak on the phone with
one of the homeowners whose house received some of
my personal attention. Her expression of deep and sincere
gratitude made the whole experience much more worthwhile
than I could have imagined.”
From Jim Griffin, President and General Manager of
Specialty Construction Brands, which owns the TEC brand
and is a fully-owned subsidiary of HB Fuller Co.:
“We are delighted to contribute products and
expertise to Tile Partners for Humanity, which is a
great cause and one that we’re proud to be associated
with. It’s very gratifying to know that our technologically
advanced solutions will go to very good use in two
dozen homes for Indianapolis families in need.”
From Marc Mularoni, Strategic Account Manager for
TEC Specialty Products:
“I'm glad that I was able to be a part of such
special project. TEC appreciates the opportunity to
be a part of this by donating the setting/grouting
material. What made the experience better was that
I was able to donate some of my time to Tile Partners
for Humanity. I enjoyed helping out on this project,
and look forward to working with TPFH on future projects.”
From Mason Mularoni, son of TEC Strategic Account
Manager Marc Mularoni:
“It was hard work, but I learned a lot! I liked
meeting and working with new people and it was fun
to see how a house is built. Being able to donate my
time to such a good cause as Habitat for Humanity made
my work more enjoyable.”
From Brian Turner, President of North American Tile
Tool Company:
"
North American Tile Tool Company is gratified in the
knowledge that the little we give is received with
such appreciation. Why would you not support the efforts
of so many to make another person’s life better?”
From Jeff McCammack, Owner of McCammack Tile:
“I believe that Habitat is a good thing and
I don’t see how you cannot get involved on a
local level. How often do we get to use our skills?
This gave me the forum to get involved and to give
back to my community in a way that I can make a difference.”
From Greg Waltz, IUBAC Local 4 IN/KY Zone II Tile,
Marble, and Terrazzo Apprenticeship Program Coordinator:
“My International Union encourages locals and
apprenticeship programs to get involved in partnerships
with these organizations. I am glad that our Union
Apprenticeship program, which consists of 19 tile apprentices,
can help out along with some Journeyman tile setters.
It builds good relationships and it lets the community
know that the Union cares about these homeowners.”
From Lisa Schwartz, Schluter®-Systems’ Public
Relations Coordinator.
“Projects like this are a true expression of
a caring and generous society, and our company is grateful
to be a part of this worthwhile undertaking,”
