Bob's High School Heroes recognizes caring students

High school students play an important role in supporting a sufficient blood supply. Blood donations at high school and college blood drives account for up to 20 percent of donations during the school year, which is why scholarship programs like Bob's High School Heroes are important in ensuring blood is available to patients whenever and wherever it is needed.

And that is why Bob's Discount Furniture and the American Red Cross have launched the annual Bob's Discount Furniture $250,000 High School Heroes Scholarship Program for the 2014-2015 school year.

The Bob's High School Heroes Scholarship Program recognizes students who make exceptional contributions to the American Red Cross blood donation program in their schools, and helps encourage young people to become involved by helping patients in need.
"For more than 18 years, Bobs Discount Furniture has been an unwavering supporter of the Red Cross and the patients and communities we serve," said Robert Kessler, CEO, American Red Cross Penn-Jersey Blood Services Region. "The Scholarship program helps the Red Cross make a difference in the lives of patients and empowers high school students to take a leadership role."

"We're proud to celebrate the dedication and civic contributions of high school seniors who better their community by supporting the Red Cross and its life -saving mission," said Bobs Kaufman, president emeritus of Bob's Discount Furniture."Since this Scholarship program launched in 2009, we've awarded nearly $650,000 to hundreds of students in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York and look forward to touching more lives this year."

Kaufman knows the crucial importance of sufficient blood supply. Medical crises required two of his family members to receive many blood transfusions. He lost his father Leo Kaufman and his 16-year-old nephew Scott Mulready to leukemia. The Kaufman family is forever thankful for the extra time with them made possible, in part, by blood donors. In fact, with the help of employees, customers and members of the community, Bob's Discount Furniture blood drives have collected more than 38,00 units of lifesaving blood. The Manchester, Connecticut-based Bob's Discount Furniture enterprise has 54 Stores located throughout New England, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, it is the 15th-largest U.S. furniture chain.

Students who host at least two high school blood drives throughout the year and achieve an annual participations rate of at least 30 percent of age-eligible students are qualified to win a base scholarship of $250. Students who meet those initial requirement are  also eligible to win additional scholarship, including up to eight $1,000 grand prize scholarship per winning school, which is determined by totalling the blood units donated from each state are determined by the number of students who donate and the total units collected.

To donate blood download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblod.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS(1-800-733-2767)to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age(16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

American Furniture Hall Of Fame Honors Bob's Discount Furniture Co-Founder



Bob's Discount Furniture is proud to announce that its co-founder, Gene Rosenberg, has been inducted into the American Furniture Hall of Fame in recognition of his outstanding achievements and contributions to the continued growth and development of the U.S. furniture industry.

Rosenberg was chosen for permanent membership, the industry's highest honor, by current Hall of Fame members, and was inducted during a sold-out Oct. 20 award ceremony marking the organization's 25th anniversary. As a new member, he received an "Affie" award, a handcrafted copper statuette symbolizing the furniture industry's enduring spirit, and will have his portrait placed in the Hall of Fame in High Point, N.C.

"This is a much-deserved honor for a business genius," said Bob Kaufman, who co-founded Bob's Discount Furniture along with Rosenberg. "For 22 years I have had the pleasure of calling Gene my partner, friend and mentor. He's the most charitable person I have ever known, and the brains behind our becoming a top-20 furniture retailer."

Rosenberg and Kaufman opened the first Bob's Discount Furniture store in Newington in 1991. Since then, the company has grown to become the 16th-largest U.S. furniture retail chain, with 47 stores located throughout New England, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Virginia. Rosenberg, also co-founded Enfield-based Planned Furniture Promotions, Inc. (PFP), the country's largest furniture promotion firm, which assists retailers with special-purpose events such as store closings, reorganizations, retirement and moving sales.

"Gene has been responsible for thousands of successful promotional events," said Tom Liddell, PFP's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "Thanks to his vision and leadership, PFP is recognized today as the home furnishing industry's premier sales promotion company."

A strong believer in personal and corporate philanthropy, Rosenberg is a longtime supporter of Camp Rising Sun, a Colebrook camp for children with cancer, as well as the Bob's Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation, which benefits dozens of children's charities. He also has served on the boards of directors for numerous charitable organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Hebrew Home and Hospital, the Hartford Jewish Federation and Chabad House.

Besides Rosenberg, two other industry leaders - John Bassett III and Hassel Franklin - were inducted to the Hall of Fame during the Oct. 20 event, joining 91 previously inducted members. Bassett, chairman of Virginia-based Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co., doubled his company's sales of American-made furniture during the past two decades. Franklin is chairman and CEO of Houston, Miss.-based Franklin Corp., a family-owned upholstered recliner company that he founded in 1970 and built into one of the largest privately-owned U.S. furniture manufacturers.
