Bockrath Flooring & Rugs has proudly been a part of Carpet One Floor & Home since 1989; in 2013 Carpet One was introduced to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation and has been installing the flooring in each smart home built by the organization since. These homes are given to catastrophically injured veterans – many of them triple and quadruple amputees. The smart homes allow these courageous individuals to regain some of the independence they’ve lost due to their injuries.

In 2014, Bockrath Flooring and Rugs wanted to do more outreach for the community. Doug Bockrath found a wonderful organization, We Care Arts in Kettering, OH. We Care Arts is a program that assists challenged students to express their creativity through art. We felt this was a great partnership as our rugs are a work of art and can be displayed that way in one’s home.

In 2016, Bockrath Flooring collaborated with We Care Arts for our 1 ^st annual Rug Design Contest. Local students from the area created a drawing on paper using up to 4 different colors from a color board. Bockrath’s narrowed down the almost 80 entries and selected our “Final Four”. We then went to social media to ask the public to vote for the winning design.

Our Rug Artisans then replicated the drawing into a 5x7 rug that is auctioned off at the We Care Arts annual Spring Fundraiser held in March. All the proceeds from the rug go directly back to We Care Arts! Don’t worry, our contest winner receives a 3x5 rug of their rendering as a keepsake. It’s a wonderful way to show one’s art and creativity made into a rug.

Bockrath Flooring is proud to be a part of this organization along with the Spring Auction, We Care Arts hosts several fundraisers throughout the year that Bockrath’s participates in.

2018 Design Contest Winner:

Congratulations Beth and all that support We Care Arts.
