Kingsdown's Swing For Kids Event - A Huge Success

Furniture World Magazine

When Kingsdown sets a goal, they do it in a big way. It's that kind of attitude that has made the ultra-premium bedding manufacturer such a great success story, and it's that same spirit which has helped Kingsdown reach its goal this year to donate nearly 1 million dollars to Children's Miracle Network (CMN). "The outstanding effort by our employees and the significant contributions our dealers and suppliers have made to help us reach our goal has been overwhelming," says Eric Hinshaw, president and CEO of Kingsdown. "Everyone pitched in to make this happen. And when you visit the children in CMN hospitals, you understand why." Kingsdown's contribution to Children's Miracle Network was the result of a year full of charity events. Each Kingsdown plant around the country sponsored its own event, including golf tournaments, road rallies and fun runs, to raise money as part of Kingsdown Miracle Kids. The campaign culminated with a three-day golf tournament event, Swing for Kids, at the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. Celebrity guests, bedding and furniture dealers and suppliers from across the nation came together to help Kingsdown Miracle Kids meet its goal.
