The Interior Design Community Comes Together To Fight Cancer
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 17, 2014 -- GCT Marketing (GCT), alongside James Rixner (Rixner), and Bjorn Bjornsson (Bjornsson), the nation’s top interior designers, are hosting an online design sale with the goal of donating $20,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). This first-of-its-kind online event brings some of the biggest showrooms in the interior design industry together to fight breast cancer, including Baccarat, Neidermaer, Baker, Christopher Guy, Samad Rugs, Century Furniture, Arteriors, and many more.
Countless luxury pieces are available beginning June 6th at showhousesale.com, where GCT Marketing will donate twenty percent of its proceeds from every sale. GCT Marketing and BCRF invite all to shop for a cause and help raise funds to find a cure.
BCRF was founded by Evelyn Lauder in 1993, and since its inception has raised over $500 million to fund breakthrough breast cancer research in the areas of tumor biology, genetics, metastasis, prevention, treatment and survivorship. BCRF invests 91 cents of every dollar in research and awareness programs, and holds a four-star rating from Charity Navigator and an A+ rating from Charity Watch.
"I am firm believer in all the positive outcome of giving back. This unique opportunity allows me as a designer to exercise contributing to a cause in an innovative way. As a supporter of all cancer research this particular charity holds a special place for me," says James Rixner, Interior Designer, ASID
“It's important for Bjornsson Design as well as a privilege to be part of this charitable organization. We here at Bjornsson Design believe in giving back to the community as we have done many times. We hope that this sale brings together the funds that are greatly needed.” Says Bjorn Bjornsson, Interior Designer, ASID.
“With so many people we know personally afflicted by this disease, we feel that we should do whatever we can to contribute to this cause. We are an advocate of businesses making money while giving back to the community, creating a circular momentum that allows for natural and inclusive growth. Let’s make our brands relevant by helping solve current issues,” said Christian Turnier, Founder and Principal, GCT Marketing.
