Chairity, our signature fundraising event, generates vital funds that help support our mission to furnish homes and change lives. We invite you to join us September 18-20 for an opportunity to ‘Shop for Good’!
Through the magic of our talented local sponsoring interior designers and generous product donations from the home furnishings industry, shoppers can immerse themselves in design inspiration through 15 beautifully curated rooms. These spaces showcase a wide array of furnishings, fabrics, rugs, lighting, art, and accessories – all expertly arranged by our talented designers.
During the event, attendees can purchase items from these designer-inspired spaces and bid on twelve unique ‘reimagined chairs’ that have been crafted by local designers.
“Well-equipped homes are essential for health and stability, preventing homelessness and fostering wellbeing,” says Rae Marie Czuhai, CEO of The Green Chair Project. “Chairity, our largest fundraising event, provides the crucial resources we need to ensure every child has a bed of their own and every family has the essential household items needed to make a house a home. We are deeply grateful to our sponsors, designers and donors for creating an opportunity for the community to ‘shop for good’. All proceeds from the event support our mission to furnish homes and change lives.”
