It's that time of year again! Pack up your old, discontinued fabrics, finish samples, and/or binders and donate them to SpecSimple.com's 10th Annual Save A Sample! Box-A-Thon. Your materials will be donated to design students at schools around New York. This year's Drive is scheduled to take place April 7th, 8th and 9th, 2009.
It's easy to participate. Pack up your materials (which can include, but are not limited to: binders, brochures, carpet samples, fabric samples, glass samples, stone samples, etc., but please NO Sweets Catalogs, Code Books, Carpet Books and Material Boards i.e. brick.) in copy paper sized boxes (any box of approximately 11" x 17" x 9 1/2"deep will do) and set them aside. This year we will be accepting up to 15 boxes per participant. Register early and receive official Save A Sample! labels used to mark the contents of each box. Please make sure to register no later than March 20th. We will contact you in early April with the exact date and time of your pick-up.
In addition to collecting literature and samples, the Save A Sample! Box-A-Thon also raises money to fund design school scholarships. To participate in the drive, we request you refer a minimum of 5 potential sponsors for us to contact on your behalf. Your sponsors will be asked to pledge $35 for each box you pack up--so pack up a lot!
Be one of the top 5 firms to sign up sponsors and you will win GREAT prizes - donated by top furniture and lighting manufacturers. Your firm's participation will be formally recognized by the New York chapters of the AIA, ASID, IIDA, USGBC and SMPS. Prizes will be awarded at the Save A Sample! Awards Ceremony and Party held at the end of April at Knoll. (More details to follow).
