Investing in our future by helping create the leaders of tomorrow



Bob Wagner's is proud to announce its sponsorship program with ATA Martial Arts of West Chester.




What does ATA stand for?

The American Taekwondo Association 

From the ATA website:
ATA is the premier North American organization dedicated to the martial arts discipline of Taekwondo, and is the founding organization of other international affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union (WTTU) and the Songahm Taekwondo Federation (STF). Counting both the U.S. and worldwide, the three organizations have over 1,500 licensed schools and clubs worldwide.

Why did we choose to sponsor ATA?

Not only does ATA teach taekwondo, which builds self-confidence, increases attention span, improves grades, and so much more, ATA has a bully prevention program where they teach their students both how to avoid being bullied as well as how to stand up for others who are being bullied.

Along with their standard taekwondo program, which is far from standard, ATA offers a leadership program for its students.







The leadership patch says, "Creating Tomorrow's Leaders One Black Belt At A Time".  Having seen this program first hand, I can tell you that is precisely what they are doing. Using grad-school level leadership concepts, ATA has created a truly unique program that students are proud to become a part of.



Leadership students learn the importance of leading by example and supporting their communities. Required to step up their physical and mental training, students are rewarded with unique opportunities and advanced curriculum designed to bring out their best.

Finally, ATA gets its students involved in countless community service projects. Giving back to the community is part of being an ATA member.

Through our sponsorship, ATA will continue build tomorrow's leaders.

Bob Wagner's Creepy Flooring Photo Contest $1500.00 in prizes




The time of ghosts, ghouls and goblins draws nigh!  Horror, terror and dread will be the norm as the month of October rolls through.  New episodes of The Walking Dead and scarier still, a new Justin Beiber music video will haunt the airwaves.

What better time could there be to replace your nasty old floor?  In the spirit of the season, Bob Wagner's is hosting a Creepy Flooring Photo Contest.  

The details:

The winner will receive a $500 gift card to our store.  

We are issuing one winning prize per location (Downingtown, Middletown and West Chester) for a total of $1500 in prizes.

How: 

Take a photo of your creepiest looking floor -something so dreadful, so ugly, so awful that it is just begging to be replaced and email it to Media@bobwagner.com.  Included must be your name, address (so we can confirm you are in our service area) and email address.

Once we receive your photo and confirm your house is in our service area, it will be uploaded to our Creepy Flooring Photo Contest Pinterest board.  Once your picture is uploaded anyone will be able to 'Like' it.  Each like will get you closer to being selected for the final round.  The five pictures representing each location with the highest number of likes (a total of fifteen entries) will move on to the final round so be sure to tell your friends to stop in and like your picture.

Final Judging:

The final judging will be performed by a hand-selected trio of industry professionals who've seen some of the most horrifying floors around.  There will be three seasoned flooring installers making the final votes.  If your floor is selected, you win!

When:

We will accept submissions beginning October 1st through October 31st
Winners will be selected on November 7th and notified within 5 business days of the selection

Pets for Patriots. A cause we stand behind.


Bob Wagner's Flooring America is proud to announce our partnership with Pets For Patriots.  

Pets for Patriots, Inc., is a registered 501(c)(3) charity that helps service and veteran members of the United States military honorably adopt adult and other at-risk shelter pets.

Within a few days, you will start seeing Pets For Patriots signs, brochures, donation sheets and goal posters at each of our locations.




Starting September 16th, Pets for Patriots supporters will be able to stop by Bob Wagner’s to make a donation to benefit the organization. The money raised will help the non-profit provide local military personnel with much-needed companionship. Donors will receive their name on the wall of Bob Wagner’s showroom, which will honor their contribution, and create a show of support for the organization.

From our press release:

“We’re very excited to participate in this outstanding cause,” says Matt Wagner, Owner of Bob Wagner’s. “Our veterans and military personnel do so much for our country and pets help to improve the quality of life for so many people, military members and civilians alike.”
 

Our goal is to collect $1,000 per location. Also, as a way to further show our support for this wonderful organization, Bob Wagner's will match, dollar-for-dollar, every donation.


In November each of our locations will host a Fall Photo Pets For Patriots day.  Supporters, veterans, pet lovers, anyone and everyone is welcome to bring in their pet and have them photographed in front of a fall themed backdrop.  The best part, all proceeds will go directly to Pets for Patriots.

Middletown: 11/17 (Sunday)
West Chester: 11/23 (Saturday)
Downingtown: 11/24 (Sunday)
