Home furnishings retailer Leon & Lulu the Michigan chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers will host a Chair-ity fundraiser on Thursday.
The event at the Clawson, Mich., store runs 5-8 p.m., and will benefit Turning Point, a Mt. Clemens shelter that provides programs and resources for victims of domestic and sexual abuse. ASID is enlisting local designers to create temporary living spaces at Turning Point for occupants seeking refuge from violence.
Guests will enjoy light refreshments, shopping, and bidding in a silent auction on one-of-a-kind chair-acters transformed by designers from abandoned chairs into whimsical works of art in the likenesses of movie characters and creative creatures. Entertainment will include a secret vote ballot to determine the audience favorite, an awards presentation, and door prizes for attendees.
Funds raised from the auction as well as 10 percent of all purchases made at Leon & Lulu will be donated to Turning Point to support its goal of keeping people safe from violence and enabling survivors to regain control of their lives.
A single admission costs $12, $20 will admit two. Cash and checks will be accepted at the door, and tickets can also be purchased in advance here.
