Save A Sample! - the design industry's recycling drive - takes place in cities across this country. Save A Sample! collects unneeded literature and samples from design firms and donates them to local design schools. Last year's Save A Sample! was a great success! With sample donations from 70 architectural and design firms, and the support of 22 major furniture dealers and installers, we collected and delivered 12 tons boxes of samples to local design schools. We also raised thousands of dollars for both resource library and Save A Sample! Student Design Hand Drawing Competition scholarships.
Architects & Designers
Complete the Save A Sample! Design Firm Participation Form. Deadline to register is March 6. To be notified of sign-up, join our mailing list.
Borrowing from the Walk-A-Thon concept, we request that you ask manufacturers and their representatives to support your donation effort by pledging a small amount for every box you donate. To participate in the Save A Sample! event, we ask that you give us a minimum of 5 potential pledgors to contact on your behalf. The money they donate goes directly to local area design schools to fund scholarships.
Dealers
Sign up to donate a truck and driver to pick up boxes of samples from local area architects and designers and deliver them to a local design school as part of the Annual SpecSimple.com
Save A Sample! (April 5-7, 2016).
Remember to take photos and send them in to be included in the photo gallery to our left and other Save A Sample! postings.
