Feizy Rugs has donated $25,000 to The Global Fund for Children to support marginalized children around the world by improving access to education and healthcare, thereby improving their standard of life.
GFC has impacted the lives of more than 9 million vulnerable children worldwide. GFC is dedicated to transforming the lives of children on the edges of society--trafficked children, refugees, child laborers--to help them regain their rights and pursue their dreams. This organization works in many of the world cultures where Feizy creates its products.
“We are fortunate this holiday season to be celebrating what has been a truly wonderful year for the company and we want to extend that good fortune to others,” said Leah Feizy, executive vice president of Feizy Rugs, Dallas, Texas. “Our amazing customers have made this gift possible and it is in their name that we are donating these funds.”
“The Global Fund for Children in honored to partner with Feizy Rugs, and we are so grateful to their customers for inspiring this generous holiday gift,” said Susan Goodell, GFC’s Chief Executive Officer. “This donation enables GFC to provide education, care, and support to thousands of vulnerable children.”
Feizy Rugs is providing its customers with the opportunity to choose which region they would like to support by sending them to a special page on GFC’s Web site, where they will be able to pledge their gifted funds.
“Feizy wants to give our clients a voice in how to make a positive difference in a child’s life,” said Feizy.
