Houston's Mattress Mack Turns Big Givers into Big Winners


HOUSTON, Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Houston's premier furniture retailer, Gallery Furniture, along with iHeart Media, are sending eight Houstonians to The Big Game in Minneapolis on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2018. Gallery Furniture and iHeart Media solicited nominations of Houstonians that went above and beyond, exemplifying unparalleled character and service throughout the days and weeks following the devastating strike of Hurricane Harvey in August 2017.

"Thousands of Houstonians suffered tremendous trauma during Hurricane Harvey, and so many Houstonians felt the responsibility to help out their fellow neighbor. It was incredible," states Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale. "Texans are resilient. Tragedy struck, yet so many people went out on boats to rescue complete strangers, raised money, opened their homes; they did what they could in the face of complete devastation, and that is what makes Texas strong."

Each winner went above and beyond when Texas was hit with the destruction from Hurricane Harvey. Details below give a snapshot of the efforts put forth during the disaster and recovery of the contest winners:

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is treating the four winners to the ultimate Big Game experience. Each winner was gifted two tickets on the 30-yard line, access to the NFL Experience, concert backstage passes, exclusive patio on the field pre/post-game and all expenses paid.

McIngvale, CEO and owner of Gallery Furniture, has practiced "giving back" many times before. Last fall, McIngvale surprised more than 20 first responders and 20 lucky winners with tickets to Game 6 of the World Series.
