WEST PALM BEACH, FL (July 26, 2012) – On Wednesday July 18, local interior
designers and related businesses convened at PGA National to unveil their room themes by displaying storyboards
for the first KidSanctuary Campus
home. The home and its interiors will be complete by late November with an Official Ribbon Cutting to show each
designer’s rooms on November 30. Events will continue throughout the
weekend with a Designer Showcase Open House on December 1-2 at its location at
555 Safe Haven Drive, West Palm Beach, 33411. The Designer Showcase Open
House will be open to the public with tickets going on sale in October.
KidSanctuary Campus, Inc. is a charitable organization located in Palm Beach County committed to
assisting children who have been removed from their home because of neglect and
abuse. With land donated by Palm Beach County, and a capital campaign currently
in place, the five-acre residential facility broke ground with its first home
on October 5, 2011. The J.M. Rubin
Foundation has sponsored the first house to be named, The Rubin Cottage. The
second home has been sponsored and the ground breaking is estimated to take
place in February, 2013. The second home will be named the Dodero Family Cottage. The
capital campaign will continue to raise the necessary funds for the
construction of two additional homes and a recreational/ therapy building.
KidSanctuary Campus President, Connie Frankino
said, “A roster of our area’s top designers and vendors have come together to
offer their services to create a spectacular design showcase that will be a
safe haven for children who deserve an environment that is trustworthy, dependable,
and reliable. With the construction of the first house nearly complete, we are
excited about moving towards the interiors of the home and seeing each of the
designer concepts tonight really helped bring the vision to reality. We are
thankful for everyone’s philanthropic efforts that will impact so many children
for years to come.”
Says Design Chair, Angela Reynolds, “Tonight we had the opportunity to meet and share
our vision by displaying concept boards for everyone to see. It was special to hear the designer’s
enthusiasm as they explain how the kids will relate and function in the
space. The designers went that
extra mile to create a magical space for the children. The dining room has a
Dr. Zuess theme, one of the bedrooms has a modern wooded theme, and the living
room was so over the top fabulous. At the reception we realized we had
collaborated to create something amazing and we all had goose bumps while we
all shared our designs.”
