Columbus, Ohio-based
Value City Furniture has partnered with
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to furnishing the
St. Jude Home of Dreams, part of a fundraising effort by the hospital.
Value City will furnish the four bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2,700-square-foot home and provide a second prize of a Value City $5,000 gift card.
We have a rich tradition of supporting the communities we serve, said Robert Grimmett, American Signature director of visual merchandise. It was only fitting to outfit the St. Jude Home of Dreams to benefit the St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital.
Located in Dublin, Ohio, the St. Jude Home of Dreams was built by
Fischer Homes and is valued at $400,000. Tickets for a chance to win the home are available for $100 each with only 7,000 tickets are available for purchase. All proceeds benefit the efforts at St. Jude.
The house is open for tours now through Sept. 25; Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Winners of both the home and the Value City gift card, among other prizes, will be announced Sunday, Oct. 2 starting at 1 p.m.
In addition to outfitting the home for the duration of the open houses, Value City is hosting an open house weekend on Sept. 10 and 11 with room giveaways, product experts and designer tips available to mirror the Homes style in the consumers own home. The master bedroom, a youth bedroom, living room and dining room will all be available for tour guests to win as part of the Value City Weekend.
We are extremely proud of our new lines and are excited to introduce them to the public, Grimmett said. The unique opportunity to fully display a new collection in a beautiful home setting will show consumers the quality and distinct look our products bring to a home. From the new contemporary lines and colors used in the living and master sitting areas, to the Varsity youth collection trundle bed with storage, we have a lot to share.
The home includes an open floor plan, complete with first floor office space and a great room connecting the kitchen and living areas.
Because of the floor plan, were able to mix woods, textures and patterns breaking down traditional consumer mindsets that whole spaces need to match, Grimmett said. Our partnership with Kentucky based Touch Of Class to coordinate the furniture selections, custom draperies and final touches puts the best look forward for this beautiful home benefiting the great causes of St. Jude.
