It’s for a good cause!
“When I learned that only 5% of cancer research funding in Canada goes to children’s cancer research, I knew we had to do something,” said Carlos Soares, founder and president of Divine Flooring, and the person behind Barley & Smoke, said in a media release.
“I had cancer as a young man and it’s rough. I can’t imagine watching your child go through it. At the end of the day, we’re motivated to offer hope and joy to children facing this disease. Our goal is to raise funds while having fun,” Soares added.
