Wesley Allen Hosts Two Events to Support Common Thread for the Cure

September 24, 2025  by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Industry   

Designed to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Fall High Point Market, Wesley Allen’s two events will bring the High Point community and the design & trade industry together for conversations and connections. Wesley Allen’s founder and president Victor Sawan shares, “Please join us in showing your support for The Common Thread for the Cure, which provides grants to those with breast cancer, in the furnishings and design industry.” 

The first event will be hosted by High Point’s Mayor Cyril Jefferson, and is open to the public, on Oct 23, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Wesley Allen’s 14,000 sq-ft two-story showroom at 100 N. Hamilton. “Harvesting Hope —The Common Thread for the Cure 25th Anniversary Silent Auction,” Celebration Event invites the High Point community, local businesses, and the design and trade industry. The event will feature an unveiling of Wesley Allen’s Harvesting Hope Silent Auction item —a stunningly exquisite custom-designed queen-size upholstered bed. RSVP to the celebration on Eventbrite. 

During the event, guests will hear from a key member of The Common Thread for the Cure board of directors, Kathy (Wall) Hunt, founder of the nonprofit's marketing and PR agency, The Media Matters, along with grant recipients, supportive partners, community members, and friends.

“As a board member and part of the team supporting The Common Thread for the Cure’s efforts, I’m grateful to Wesley Allen for their generous support and donation,” said Hunt. “Their contribution not only adds something very special to the auction but also helps strengthen the impact of the work the nonprofit does every day.”

Wesley Allen will continue its campaign to honor and fundraise for The Common Thread for the Cure by hosting a trade-focused event during High Point Market on Oct 25, from 3 - 5 pm in their 100 N Hamilton showroom. 

Wesley Allen invites marketing attendees for “Designing for a Luxury Mindset”, at 3:30 pm, with Wendy Glaister, Wendy Glaister Interiors, Lori Miller, LGC Interiors, and Serena Martin, 24/7 Creative Agency. This talk will dive into how to create a luxury experience for your clients based on intentional details and through thoughtful curation. Market attendees and design professionals will also learn how to shift from focusing solely on high costs to appreciating quality, meaningful experiences, and personal well-being for your clients.  Guests are encouraged to RSVP on Eventbrite. 

Gabby Toro, Creative Director at Wesley Allen, commented. “Please join us in our efforts to raise awareness and funds for The Common Thread for the Cure during the Fall  High Point Market. During both of our events, we invite the community (to) learn more about this worthy cause, meet new friends, reconnect, and unwind at our curated events  while you explore our newest collections .” 

Gabby shares additional details on  Fall High Point Market introductions, including New Barstools, New Dining Chairs, New Luxurious Upholstered & Iron Bed Frames, and several New Nightstands. Wesley Allen’s nightstand premiere includes Toki, Clayton, Nova & Arya designs, with coordinating dressers will be available for the Nova and Arya. Each of the nightstands and dressers have a sophisticated and updated look, with stunning iron leaf handles in an array of finishes.

Wesley Allen’s High Point showroom is open for viewing starting on Oct 23 - 29 from 8 am to 6 pm at 100 N Hamilton. Wesley Allen invites existing customers and new buyers to explore their showroom and Design Center, as their friendly and knowledgeable staff will be on hand to walk individuals or groups through their extensive product offerings.
