St. Louis, MO (April 1, 2005) – Yesterday in St. Louis, hundreds of fans welcomed the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four teams to the city with banners, cheers and even a red carpet! Children from the local Boys & Girls club rolled out a special red carpet, donated by Carpet One, for each team as they arrived at their hotel.

“We’re all very excited to have the tournament in our home city,” said Alan Greenberg, Co-CEO and Co-Chairman of CCA Global Partners. “I’m happy that we were able to contribute something to make the players feel welcome and to help them prepare for their big games! We’re looking forward to some exciting basketball and we wish them all the best of luck.”

Carpet One donated two 3 by 15-foot rolls of red loop pile carpet serged on each side, specially produced by Milliken Carpet & Rugs for this event. The four college basketball teams that walked down the red carpet will be playing in the semi-final games of the NCAA tournament this Saturday in St. Louis.
