Help a select a winner in Gerflor USA’s sports flooring giveaway

A jury of five respected professionals has selected three finalists for the chance to win a new sports floor for its school or community center. For the past two months, Gerflor USA, a leader in resilient sports floor manufacturing, gathered nominations from the public for schools or community centers across the country to win a new Taraflex gym floor through its Play Safe on Taraflex program.

The three finalists — Anderson Middle School in Anderson, Calif., Summit Elementary in Ashland, Ky., and the Fairfield YMCA in Fairfield, Conn. — were selected from more than 50 submissions. The winner will receive a Taraflex floor, the world’s most widely specified sports surface due to its safety and performance properties, and the same flooring selected for 10 consecutive Olympic Games through Gerflor’s partnerships with IHF and FIVB.

To determine the winner, a public voting period is open through Nov. 23. The nominees were evaluated based on financial need, condition of the current playing surface and facility and the nomination statement. To vote for one of the finalists, visit Gerflor USA’s Facebook page.

“It’s critical that kids have a safe surface to play on,” said Dr. Robert C. Klapper, chief, Division of Orthopedic Surgery at Cedars Sinai Medical Group and jury member for Play Safe on Taraflex. “We evaluated each nomination on a number of criteria, but took safety into serious consideration as we see numerous injuries due to poor performing gymnasiums and facilities.”

Because of its safety and performance benefits, Taraflex is a leader in indoor sports flooring for U.S. schools, installed in over 70,000 gymnasiums worldwide. The winning school or community center will receive the same Taraflex floor featured at the London Games, or an equivalent Taraflex Sport M Plus floor.
