"Connecting with our community is important to us - giving back is core to our mission here at Bona," said Chad Nordhagen, Director of Marketing, Bona US. "These efforts are driven by our employees, customers and partnerships. It's an amazing team effort."
Bona's largest fundraising endeavor this year was its "pink mop" campaign that benefited BCRF. For a limited-time this fall, pink Bona Hardwood Floor Mop's were sold exclusively at Bed, Bath & Beyond. For each mop sold, Bona donated $3 to BCRF to support its efforts to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime.
Additionally, Bona raised funds for the American Red Cross to aid clean-up efforts surrounding the floods in northern Colorado. Through its partnership with Colorado-area Lowe's stores, for a limited time Bona donated five dollars for every gallon of Bona Hardwood Cleaner or Bona Stone, Tile & Laminate cleaner sold.
As the Official Hardwood Floor Care Partner of the NBA, Bona donated two gym floor refinishing projects through its partnership with NBA Cares. Bona also donated to the local Colorado chapter of CASA, a network of programs that support volunteers to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courtroom and other settings. As part of Colorado Gives Day, Bona donated a suite at a Denver Nuggets game to CASA.
