Interior Design Expo to Benefit Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity in Baltimore
Rockville, MD – April 29, 2004 -- Interior Design Expo™ enters into joint agreement with Baltimore’s Habitat for Humanity to help combat local homelessness during the Interior Design Expo slated for May 15-16, 2004, at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, MD. Classic Productions C.E.O., Gregory S. Winton for Interior Design Expo™ will contribute to Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity of Baltimore, MD. By donating a percentage of all Expo’s ticket sales to the local charitable organization located in Baltimore County. Winton says, “all attendees visiting the Interior Design Expo can feel good knowing that a portion of their entrance fees will assist someone less privileged at the same time.”
"We're thrilled by this wonderful partnership with the Interior Design Expo," said Marisa Canino, Deputy Director of Chesapeake Habitat for Humanity. "The awareness and support generated from this event will help us create more affordable homeownership opportunities for Baltimore families in need. It's fantastic when businesses step up to the plate to support the surrounding community, and we're particularly excited that the Interior Design Expo is so closley aligned with our mission. It's a perfect fit."
“As advocates for the homeless, and low-income families we are looking to contribute to the local community. We truly hope that other local businesses will jump on-board with us in this call for help to make a difference, as it has been a very cold winter. This upcoming event will be a win-win situation for all involved,” says, Winton. We encourage everyone in the community to come out and support this local effort.
Interior Designers and local businesses wishing to exhibit in support of the fight against homelessness are encouraged to contact Robyn Rutledge at (301) 294-8550.
