CHARLOTTE, NC — The Carolina Panthers made a large donation of Bank of America Stadium furniture to Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont Friday.
The team donated roughly 200 high top tables, 200 bar stools, 150 chairs, 150 large-format framed pictures, 50 coffee tables, and 20 leather couches from the stadium’s club level and common areas which are scheduled for renovations during the offseason.
“The Carolina Panthers are pleased to provide this furniture donation to Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont,” said Riley Fields, Director of Community Relations for the Carolina Panthers. “Knowing the donation will serve our community by providing resources to Goodwill that will assist job training and other employment opportunities means a great deal.”
The furniture will be made available to the public for purchase in the coming weeks. Proceeds will fund job training and employment services at Goodwill free of charge for local job seekers, according to a release.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Carolina Panthers for this generous donation to Goodwill,” said LaRita Barber, Senior Vice President of Community Engagement at Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont. “The team has a longstanding tradition of philanthropy in the region, and its commitment to our community will start off 2017 on the right foot by helping our neighbors get the training and resources to find work this year.”
