ATLANTA—Nydree Flooring, a leader in high-quality, design-driven engineered wood flooring, is a premier corporate sponsor of the Promise686 team participating in the Tough Mudder: Atlanta obstacle race on May 7. The competition is central to the Promise686 Tough Campaign, which seeks to raise awareness of the growing foster care crisis in Georgia.

While Tough Mudder has its obstacles and Nydree Flooring produces the toughest wood flooring in the industry, little is more challenging than a child growing up without a permanent home. Promise686 is dedicated to equipping churches and families to meet the needs of orphans and foster children through financial assistance, community support and education. Promise686’s goal is for more children to be nurtured in loving homes by educating the community and reducing barriers to adopting and fostering children.

“Nydree Flooring is built to last a lifetime, but the impact of fostering a child will last for generations,” said Jason Brubaker, Nydree Flooring vice president of sales and marketing. “Our goal is to encourage more families to provide foster care for the thousands of children in need of a home across the nation.”

This is the second year that Nydree Flooring is a proud sponsor of Promise686’s Tough Campaign and its team’s participation in Tough Mudder: Atlanta, an 11.4-mile race with 20 obstacles designed to test the mental and physical fitness of participants.

For more than 50 years, family-owned Nydree Flooring has supported causes positively impacting the community, while providing the highest quality engineered-wood flooring for retail, multi-family residential, hotel and mainstream commercial developments.

About Promise686
The mission of Promise686 is to equip and mobilize churches and families to meet the needs of orphans and foster children. Specifically, Promise686 is a ministry that assists families and churches to care for vulnerable children by awarding adoption grants, which reduce financial barriers, by offering practical support to families via trained volunteers, and by providing adoptive and fostering related education.

Promise686 lives out its mission in the foster care realm through the initiative, Live the Promise. Live the Promise was established to grow a wider base of loving foster families and to support these foster families through a volunteer Care Community. This Care Community provides meals, childcare, transportation and respite care. Live The Promise grew from a simple concept: If every church committed at least one family to fostering a child, every foster child would have a home. Thus far, Live The Promise, along with 80 church partners, has trained 1000+ volunteers who are serving more than 80 families who have begun a journey in fostering.
