What is Specify for a Cure®?
Specify for a Cure® is the cause marketing program of The Mohawk Group, benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. As a corporate partner, we have made a commitment to provide ongoing support to Komen for the Cure with our corporate donation and additional contributions based on carpet you specify for your projects. Our goal is to help spread awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

Specify for a Cure® began in 2001 with a commitment to our community of architects and designers, many of whom have been touched by breast cancer, either directly or indirectly. The program has had an overwhelming response from our customers and employees, and support has continued to grow. Thanks to you, The Mohawk Group was able to deliver more than double the funds we pledged in the program's first year. Since then, we have contributed more than $3 million to Komen on behalf of our customers. The Mohawk Group is also a proud member of Komen's Million Dollar Council.

What is Susan G. Komen for the Cure?
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982 that promise became Susan G. 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 and programs like Specify for the Cure®, Komen for the Cure has invested over $1 billion to fulfill its promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

How can you participate?
Take a moment to think about the people you know, and the lives that have been touched by breast cancer, directly or indirectly. Is it someone in your family — a mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt? A friend of the family? A co-worker or business associate? Let your commitment begin here, with the conviction that this disease can be conquered. Know that your next specification could help save someone's life. It's simple — just say yes. Let your sales representative know you want to make a contribution to life on your projects when you specify carpet from Karastan Contract or Durkan (print). Your rep will take care of the rest.

Our Gratitude
