UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital Cushion Campaign

UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital Cushion Campaign



Updated January 23, 2023 – July of 2021 marked the beginning of an even better partnership between the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and Randy’s Flooring of Coralville and Cedar Rapids. Randy’s Flooring has teamed up with Shaw Floors to increase our donation to the Children’s Hospital. For every square foot of Shaw Colorwall carpet and Comfort-Gel cushion sold, ten cents will be donated to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa.

Since beginning our partnership in July 2018, Randy’s Flooring has donated over $100,000 to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital. For every square foot of Shaw Colorwall carpet and Comfort-Gel cushion sold, ten cents will be donated to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.



Randy’s Flooring offers the largest selection of flooring in Eastern Iowa but we have made it easy to choose a better carpet and cushion while helping children in our community. The Shaw Colorwall carpet is showcased on a convenient display that features on-trend options in tonals, accents and patterns. Each color or style on the wall is an option for our 5 cent per square foot donation and when it is paired with the Comfort-Gel cushion, another 5 cents will be donated for every square foot sold.
