Furniture World News Desk on 2/24/2018

The Florida Home Furnishings Representatives Association reports that it has honored Baer's Furniture with their 2018 Retailer of the Year Award on February 7, 2018, at Tanzy Restaurant in Boca Raton, FL.

Melvin and Lucile Baer founded Baer's Home Outfitters in South Bend, IN in 1945. Bobby Baer moved to Florida in 1968 and transitioned the family businesses to what is now known as Baer's Furniture which is headquartered in Pompano Beach, FL. Baer's provides living room, bedroom, dining, entertainment, office, and outdoor furniture, as well as mattresses; and professional interior design services and consultations to locations all across South Florida and the Caribbean Islands.

Each year FHFRA donates a portion of the event's proceeds to a charity chosen by the honored retailer. The Baer's have been avid supporters of the City of Hope for many years and were honored with the Spirit of Life Award in 2014. Additionally, several Baer family members are involved in a variety of fundraisers for cancer research each year.

"The City of Hope is a wonderful organization, and with the Baer family's support, we are excited to have generated over $14,000 to contribute to their efforts," says Frank Lorenzo, FHFRA President.

"Our event supporters were an integral part in making this year's event memorable," says Carey Laufer, FHFRA Chairman.
