2024 3rd Annual UPlift Design Challenge & Fundraiser
We are excited to announce that we are accepting sponsors for our 3rd Annual UPlift Design Challenge & Fundraiser! This competitive fundraiser is like no other here in Western NY! In the theme of our mission, to restore hope by transforming empty spaces into homes, three teams will each compete by taking on one furniture installation, for a family in need. This is a hands-on community service project and fundraising initiative all wrapped into one!
Each team will serve one client-family starting with the initial home visit all the way through furniture installation. As a team, they will select furnishings, from our collection of gently used donations, to fit the needs of the client-family while keeping in mind the design they are envisioning for the home.
The competing teams will be filmed throughout the process so that others can follow along on their community service journey. All of this will culminate into a private event, to be held in September 2024, to celebrate lives and spaces transformed, thank our partner sponsors, and announce the official winners of the 3rd Annual UPlift Design Challenge! See sponsorship details below!
