Walk (your dog) for Design Education

Texas Chapter of the International Furnishings and Design Association
May 15, 2010, 9 am – 12 pm
Campion Trails, Bird’s Fort Trail Park,
5757 Riverside Dr., Irving, Texas

The IFDA Texas Chapter invites you out to beautiful Campion Trails in Irving, Texas to
Walk (your dog) for Design Education. Walkers and their dogs are encouraged
to collect donations to raise money for the IFDA Education Foundation. (This is for a
charitable 501c.3 organization, and all donations are tax-deductible.) Proceeds
from the Walk will benefit the IFDA Educational Foundation. The Foundation
offers 15 scholarships and grants, more than any other industry association.
However, the needs are greater than ever and IFDA-EF wants to do more.

For the top donation earner/walker, there is a prize of a complimentary hotel
package for two nights at the Holiday Inn Express in Las Vegas! For the top dog
with the most donations, there will be a fantastic doggie spa package! But keep
in mind, the donations must be turned in at the event to be counted towards
the contests!

To register for the Walk, visit the walk page of EF's website at:
http://www.ifdaef.org/designwalk. Choose "Texas Chapter".
Feel free to invite friends and co-workers who might enjoy a morning at the trail.
If you are unable to attend, but would still like to contribute to the education
foundation, you may donate at the link above.
