Saving Lives with Mohawk’s SmartCushion

3 days. 60 miles. 7 cities. 1 mission. Last year, Mohawk Flooring sponsored all seven Susan G. Komen 3-Day walks, where we were inspired by the thousands of walkers raising money to help find a cure for breast cancer. From Seattle to Atlanta, we were on hand to greet walkers, high-five them as they walked mile after mile, listened to their stories, and then handed out rolls of SmartCushion™ to use at meal times and underneath sleeping bags each night.

Handing out SmartCushion at the Komen 3-Day Walks is really just a fraction of all Mohawk Flooring does to help #CushiontheFight against breast cancer. Year after year, Mohawk Flooring supports Susan G. Komen and the fight against breast cancer through sales of SmartCushion. We’re proud to donate a portion of every SmartCushion purchased to Susan G. Komen through our Decorate for the Cure program, where we have an aggregate guaranteed minimum donation of $200,000 every single year.

Our SmartCushion does so much more than just protecting our carpets by adding extra comfort, durability and an instant warranty upgrade. It helps save lives!



We were thrilled to extend our role with Susan G. Komen by partnering with the Komen 3-Day Walks. In 2015, we provided participants at the Philadelphia 3-Day with more than 800 pieces of SmartCushion for walkers and crew to place under their sleeping bags – adding extra comfort at night. Our film crew was on hand to capture every moment – from the tragic stories to the triumphant victories – in this inspirational video (https://youtu.be/f4_zgDrTyXs).

In 2016, we expanded our support by providing more than 6,000 pieces of SmartCushion to walkers and crewmembers in all seven cities across the United States. These events, an intense 60-mile walk over the course of three days, has raised $810 million since its inception in 2003.

We’re committed to helping Susan G. Komen - the largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists - continue to make life-saving strides against breast cancer. The statistics are staggering, but so are the advancements in early detection.

• There are more than 3 million breast cancer survivors in the US, which represents the largest group of cancer survivors today.
• The number of women over 40 who now receive regular mammograms has more than doubled.
• The five-year relative survival rate for early stage breast cancer is now 99% in the United States.

Mohawk’s SmartCushion is honored to support the fight against breast cancer through Decorate for the Cure, where we have raised $10 million in donations to Komen since 2001. For additional information, visit our website and to make a donation, visit the Susan G. Komen website.
