Daltile and its nationwide dealer network recently joined together to support flooring families in need through a special fundraising campaign benefiting the Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF).
The campaign was launched during the Daltile Statements Dealer Conference, Sept. 8-11 at The Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort in Naples, Fla. During the event Charlie Dilks, chief product officer of CCA Global Partners and chair of the FCIF board, discussed FCIF’s mission and the growing need for financial assistance among flooring industry families facing catastrophic illnesses, severe injuries and life-altering disabilities.
Dilks also highlighted the record level of support FCIF has provided this year. By Aug. 31, the foundation had already awarded 100% of its 2026 grant budget to qualified flooring families. With requests for assistance continuing, FCIF is relying on increased support from across the flooring industry to help meet the growing demand.
Following Dilks’ remarks, Statements dealers were invited to donate to FCIF, with Daltile committing to match the donations generated through the campaign. Together, Daltile and its dealers raised $24,600.
“I was amazed by the support of our Daltile dealers and their generosity in helping flooring families facing some of life’s most serious medical diagnoses,” shared Patrick Warren, FCIF board member and vp sales – residential remodel for Daltile. “It is inspiring to see our dealer community come together to make a meaningful difference for families in our industry when they need it most.”
