Six members of Tile Council of North America, Inc. (TCNA) donated beautifully tiled benches to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada (BGCSNV) at Coverings 2014 in Las Vegas, NV.

The companies participating include: Interceramic, Marazzi USA, Status Ceramics, StonePeak Ceramics, Tiles Couture, and Wizard Enterprise. The Wedi bench forms used to make these benches were contributed by Wedi and TCNA.

“We would like to thank our members who donated their time, tile, and talents to make these lovely benches,” said Eric Astrachan, TCNA’s executive director. “We are very proud to support this donation and know these benches will be enjoyed by the children of Boys & Girls Clubs for many years to come.”

“These benches will provide a place for the kids to rest in between activities,” remarked Gabriel Suarez, marketing manager for BGCSNV. “We will be distributing the benches to our Clubs, and greatly appreciate the support from TCNA and its members!”

During Coverings 2014 these benches were on display in the TCNA Art Tile Courtyard and TCNA’s booth; a donation ceremony took place at 2:30 pm on Thursday, May 1st at the Art Tile Courtyard.
