SuperBowl Taste of the NFL
The Taste of the NFL is a charitable event function that rallies the country’s top chefs and the NFL’s greatest players to raise money in support of food banks throughout the United States. This is done through via three avenues; the largest being The SuperBowl Taste Of The NFL – The Party with a Purpose®. Held on the eve of Super Bowl in the host city. This event is a unique way to experience exceptional cuisine, meet NFL players and coaches, and support our fight against hunger.
This year’s event was planned on natural turf soccer fields at the University of Houston (UH) and congested campus, therefore a temporary surface was required. The promoter contacted Quality Event Flooring Systems, knowing our relationship and experience with our parent company Quality Mat Company. We installed 120,000 sq. ft. of wood mating to protect the field from damage while supporting the significant weight of cranes, forklifts, staging and large tent structure required for the event build.
The base of operations was installed complete within two days and the event was a great success with The Band Perry. UH facility management were amazed at the speed of install, removal (2 days) and the protection of natural turf field and underground utilities. Soccer was being played on the field one day after removal.
Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who help make “Taste of the NFL – Party With A Purpose” the single most successful charitable event at the SuperBowl, the Taste of the NFL organization continues to help feed the 37 million Americans who have turned to their local food banks for assistance. Millions of needs, thousands of families and dozens of new hunger projects have been affected by this major volunteer effort. Our goal: end hunger. Keeping true to our values, Quality Event Flooring Systems donated over $50,000 towards this event in assisting with feeding children.
Quality Event Flooring Systems / Quality Mat Company is proud to partner with companies or events with like-minded core values in supporting charities throughout the U.S. It’s our daily passion!
