Our Youth = Our Future
A child expelled from several daycares for aggressive behaviour... a little girl shifted from one home to another so often she has no idea where she belongs... a family struggling to understand why their four-year-old won't speak and remains in his own world... a child leaving a beloved foster home for a new 'forever' adoptive family.
These are just a few examples of children + families that have gone to SCEP CENTRE since their doors opened in 1968 and have found help.
These stories are one of many reasons that we’ve teamed with SCEP to provide support in any way we can:
- Creating food hampers for various holidays
- Purchasing rubber boots + shoes for all the children
- Partial funding of a documentary about SCEP
Our newest endeavor is to help SCEP raise funds for a new sustainable, accessible, safe + welcoming permanent home – a $1 Million capital campaign...
We are proud to be Platinum Sponsor of their Reconnect to Rebuild evening with Dr. Jody Carrington on September 24th, 2022.

IT'S A MIRACLE !
We hope you've been following along with us as we help Vonn + his family search for a donor match. We have fantastic news to share! In February the family got the call they'd been praying for - a match was found for Vonn with a donor from Germany!
The family travelled to Minneapolis in early June to begin the testing + preperation stage to make sure Vonn could get the transplant. After getting the green light, the bone marrow transplant took place on June 14th. Now many months post-transplant, we are happy to say Vonn is doing great!

A NIGHT AT THE CIRCUS - 4th ANNUAL FAv GALA
Our commitment to help find Vonn a donor match + spread awareness of this rare genetic disease is still going strong.
On May 10th, we enjoyed "a night at the circus" - with circus inspired cuisine + entertainment by stilt walkers, hula hoop performers, jugglers + so much more. After 4 years of fundraising, the FAv Foundation has now raised over $500,000 to go directly to Fanconi Anemia research!
We were proud to once again be a Platinum Sponsor with our Dance Floor sponsorship.
More information on FA + the FAv Foundation -
FAv Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises money for Fanconi Anemia Research and raises awareness about the One Match Registry – Canada’s Bone Marrow/Stem Cell Registry. FA leads to bone marrow failure, leukemia and other types of cancers – this disease is so rare that Vonn is the only person with FA in Saskatchewan.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)
On Friday, April 27th Floors by Design put on a Bunco Fundraiser for Juvenile Diabetes (JDRF) hosted by Jameson’s on Grant! We invited you to enjoy a fun night of socializing with friends. This event was open to all Floors by Design friends and family, with the freedom to extend the invitation to other friends and family. There will be 50/50 tickets and raffle baskets - All proceeds were donated to JDRF. We were excited to be supporting a wonderful organization!
For more than 40 years, JDRF has been a leader in the search for an end to type 1 diabetes (T1D), through both research funding and advocacy. JDRF’s research is committed to improving the lives of every person with T1D and to curing this disease. JDRF's research goals are realized by the projects being supported in three basic areas: Cure, Treat, Prevent.
• Cure therapies (Restoring a person’s insulin-producing capability and halting or reversing the body’s misguided immune attack on the pancreas);
• Treatment therapies (Developing new devices and therapies that transform the way people with T1D treat the disease today in order to help them live healthier lives now and in the future); and,
• Preventive therapy research (Keeping future generations from getting T1D or stopping the disease process before it damages the pancreas).
We have exciting news and wanted to share it with you because without you we couldn’t have made this happen.
Together we raised over $1,300.00 to help find a cure for T1D.
On behalf of individuals and their families living with T1D, Thank you for support! Together, we will turn type one into type none. Please pass this exciting news onto friends and family who were also able to attend.
For those of you who were unable to make it, we’re sorry you missed it and hope you can join us in the future. We look forward to the Floors by Design social committee’s next event.
Thanks again for taking the time to support us and others!

CC RezQs Regina
On Friday, July 22nd Floor's by Design hosted a BBQ fundraising event for the community toraise money for the work CC RezQs Regina does through out Saskatchewan! Hot dog's were BBQ'd and coupons from Floors by Design were given out to those who brought donations for the dogs: dog food, leashes, water bowls, and more! A full litter of puppies were also brought to the store at 206 - 4th Avenue East, Regina to find new foster homes and families to adopt the puppies needing a home. In total nearly $300 were raised over the course of two hours towards rescuing more dogs and finding more support families!
"CCRezQs is a registered Non-Profit organization with the goal of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming stray dogs from First Nations communities across the province. Started late in 2014 by two childhood friends; Caillin Rodonets and Cady Shaw, CC RezQs has saved nearly 200 stray dogs to date, travelled tens of thousands of kilometers and distributed thousands of pounds of dog food to strays in need. As our organization grows, we hope to expand our mission to include education and awareness, spay and neuter clinics, and vaccination clinics in the communities we travel to. We choose to focus on First Nations communities because of the overwhelming number of stray dogs that are concentrated in these areas. It creates a large health and safety concern, both for people and animals. We want to help make these communities safer for both the residents and the animals. Currently we are funded 100% through donations. All supplies such as kennels, food and other items are donated and the all the work is performed on a volunteer basis. The dogs we rescue are typically in very poor shape; they are extremely malnourished, have worms, fleas, ticks and sometimes mange. They have scars from old wounds and are bleeding from new wounds. They have broken teeth and injuries ranging from still broken bones to incorrectly healed fractures. Physical wounds are healed through the exceptional, professional and compassionate care team at TM'z Vet Clinic in Lumsden, Saskatchewan and emotional scars are healed by volunteers and fosters who spend countless hours laying on the floor, gaining the trust of a stray. We hope to one day run out of dogs to rescue! Until that day, we will continue to work tirelessly day and night."

Capital Cosmopolitan-Daytona Homes Charity Golf Classic – August 29, 2016
The Casey Foundation in support of Autism assists children with their unique needs. Agencies that offer services and treatments for autism are limited in their availability and unaffordable to many families. By assisting with the costs involved in accessing available services, their hope is that no child need be prevented from developing to their fullest potential.

FAv Gala for Fanconi Anemia - Platinum Sponsor – May 13, 2016
Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder that leads to progressive, severe bone marrow failure. The effects of the disease are devastating, leaving patients weak, prone to severe bleeding due to insufficient blood clotting and susceptible to infection. Though considered primarily a blood disease, it may affect all systems of the body. Many children do not survive to adulthood.
FA patients are extremely likely to develop a variety of cancers and at a much earlier age than patients in the general population. Patients who have had a successful bone marrow transplant and are therefore cured of the blood problem associated with FA still must have regular examinations to watch for signs of cancer. If you are between 17-34, consider signing up for One Match to help save a life.

Every year, 2800 women in Canada are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. Ovarian Cancer Canada provides leadership by supporting women living with the disease and their families, raising awareness among the general public and health care professionals, and funding research to develop early detection techniques, improved treatments and ultimately a cure.

Regina Humane Society
For many years, we’ve been donating our small carpet remnants and old sample carpets to the Regina Humane Society so that the cats and dogs have a comfortable place to rest until they are adopted.
