Adairsville, GA (September 22, 2010) – The 8th Annual Alan Greenberg Charity Golf Tournament hosted by CCA Global Partners brought together industry colleagues at Barnsley Gardens resort located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains for a round of golf to benefit a worthy cause. The event raised $140,000 for the Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF).

“It was wonderful seeing our business partners and friends come together to support a worthy cause.” said Howard Brodsky, co-Founder and co-CEO of CCA Global Partners. “While enjoying a day of golf, we managed to raise significant funds for the FCIF.”

This year’s event brought together members and supporters of the floor covering industry from across the country.
