HIGH POINT — Furniture of America has pledged $250,000 to the building fund of the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame in honor of the FOA family and a beloved member, Mike Genrich who recently passed away.
The full-line resource of furniture and lifestyle products, based in City of Industry, Calif., will name the Leaders Bar.
“We create memories with every piece of furniture in our homes,” said Rocky Young, senior executive vice president, Furniture of America. “We are honored to support this project because the Hall of Fame will allow visitors to pay respect to the pioneers of such a meaningful industry.
Furniture of America has chosen to name the Leaders Bar, which will be located adjacent to the Celebration Hall, a gathering space for 150 for a seated dinner or 450 for cocktails. It is supported by a catering kitchen to offer a light breakfast and lunch, a cup of coffee during the day or cocktails in the afternoon and evening.
“Although this is not our only recent charitable act, this one is close to our hearts,” Young said. “This year, we lost a very special member of the Furniture of America family, Mike Genrich. Known in the industry as Big Mike, among his many responsibilities he was an ambassador for our company. His greatest passion was networking with other members of the furniture industry.
“In his memory, we are absolutely honored to be part of creating a space dedicated to communication. To us, this gift represents the level of respect that Mike commanded within our family.”
The grand opening of the new permanent home for the Hall of Fame, located at 311 S. Hamilton St., is targeted for 2023.
