In a ceremony at this year’s Coverings tile and stone exhibition in Orlando, Florida, TPFH presented this prestigious award to Zanger in recognition of his important contributions in establishing the organization seven years ago, and for spearheading the continued efforts of Walker Zanger in the years that have followed.  Walker Zanger has championed the cause of TPFH to strengthen communities with generous financial support as a Platinum level sponsor, in tandem with donations of its world-class tile and stone hard surfaces to improve the homes and lives of those less-fortunate among us.

 “This award is shared by the people of Walker Zanger.  We are tremendously honored by this recognition, and I am personally happy that our commitment to serve the wider community dovetails so seamlessly with our love for the tile industry, through our long relationship with Tile Partners for Humanity”, says Zanger.  “Seven years ago we began a relationship with Tile Partners for Humanity that has grown through the years, and enhanced the lives of so many people.  We at Walker Zanger look forward to building on that relationship, and helping many more people and communities realize their American Dream.”

“TPFH is a wonderful organization that does so much for so many, which is especially important in these challenging times,” said Bart Bettiga, executive director of the NTCA and a long-time member of TPFH’s board of directors. “While many companies have given generously of materials and time, money is often a very difficult donation to secure.  Walker Zanger has been one of the exceptions.  Every year they have made substantial contributions to help TPFH stay viable, helping us to continue to accomplish our mission of having ceramic tile in as many Habitat for Humanity homes as possible.  On behalf of TPFH, I want to thank Jonathan and the leaders at Walker Zanger for supporting us.”
