DECOR DIRECT ANNOUNCES DONATION TO EVERY CHILD,
INC.
Sarasota,
Florida — Decor Direct, an importer of handcrafted furniture and
accessories headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, is pleased to announce its
charitable gift donated to Every Child, Inc. in June 2004 for their
fundraiser “School Daze” to benefit their 6th Annual Back
to School Day.
For the past 6 years, Every Child, Inc. has held a
"Back-to-School" Day. Last year it provided 700 children with
backpacks filled with the necessary school supplies. This year's goal is
to help a minimum of 1500 children. To help facilitate this goal, Decor Direct
donated several items valued over $200 to be raffled at their fundraiser
“School Daze”, held at Michael’s on East Ballroom on the evening of
Saturday, June 26th. The outrageous event included a fashion
show, dancing, spiked juice boxes and a “cafeteria-style” buffet in
addition to the raffle.
All money raised from
this event will buy school supplies for the children of Sarasota County.
Back to School Day will be held on Saturday, July 31st.
According to Decor
Direct’s Manager, Celeste Gruenstein, “The children of Sarasota will
grow up to be tomorrow’s business leaders and educators, so it’s
important that we help foster their education and learning experiences in
any way we can.”
In
addition to being a winner of the 2002 Young Business of the Year Award by
Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, Decor Direct has also received other
accolades, including the “Best of Show” award from the local American
Society of Interior Designers.
