Gorman's & Stressless® Partner to Deliver Hope, 10 Years Straight

Gorman’s Home Furnishings & Interior Design today announced the kickoff of its 10th annual campaign supporting The Arc of Oakland County to help make a difference in the lives of children and adults living with intellectual and developmental disabilities who rely on them for assistance in everyday living.

In partnership with Stressless by Ekornes Furniture and its Lifeline of Hope campaign, customers can participate in this community-giving program by visiting any of Gorman's showrooms from Friday, Nov. 27 through Monday, Jan. 18, 2021 and make a minimum donation of $50 to The Arc of Oakland County. Customers then will receive $200 off the price of any Stressless seating item.

“We are grateful for the relationship we’ve built with Gorman’s,” said Tom Kendziorski, Esq., Executive Director of The Arc of Oakland County. “Such partnerships allow us to extend our outreach of advocacy into the community, to help families, and to educate the general public. Any gifts made will be earmarked towards the maintenance of The Arc of Oakland County and its unequalled leadership in advocacy, which benefits so many.”

The Arc is the world's largest community-based organization of and for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The nonprofit organization exists to ensure that citizens with disabilities are valued, and that they and their families can participate fully in, and contribute to, the life of the community.

"For more than ten years now, Gorman’s has been committed to creating the Lifeline of Hope for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as to their families," said Tom Lias, president and CEO of Gorman's. "The Arc of Oakland County strives to improve systems of supports and services; connect families; inspire our community; and influence public policy. This is very necessary work and it is work that’s never finished. In these unusual times, The Arc and the people it serves need our support more than ever.”

More than 7 million individuals in the United States live with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
