FCIF Celebrates Impact and Expands Industry Outreach in 2026
Dalton, Ga. – August 18, 2026 – The stories behind FCIF’s impact are at the heart of the recently released Report to the Industry, and this year’s cover story brings that impact to life through Lukas and his family. Hear directly from Lukas and his father in a special video on FCIF’s YouTube channel, where they share their journey in their own words and what FCIF’s support has meant to them. Watch their story here: https://qrco.de/bgyDsd.
Born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, Lukas has undergone more than 13 surgeries and continues to face ongoing therapies and medical challenges. With support from FCIF, his family received assistance with essential monthly utilities and a custom adaptive bike, giving Lukas greater independence and the freedom to ride alongside his friends. Meet Lukas and explore his full cover story in the interactive Report to the Industry: https://loom.ly/KKpybwA.
Stories like Lukas’ show the impact behind FCIF’s work, which continues at a strong pace in 2026. Demand for FCIF grants is up 67%, and 95% of the foundation’s 2026 grant budget has already been awarded to flooring families facing life-altering challenges. As FCIF continues this work, there are many opportunities ahead for the flooring community to connect, get involved and help make an impact.
The flooring community can support FCIF at the 2026 Alan Greenberg Charity Golf Tournament, hosted by CCA Global Partners, on Sept. 16 at Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville, Georgia. Participants can register to support the event through golf, pickleball or sponsorship opportunities at https://www.alangreenbergfcif.com/registration/.
