Save A Sample! creates “another life” for design firm’s unused materials, including fabrics, brochures and finish cards, by donating them to local design schools. Students benefit throughout the year by having a professional set of resources to work with. Save A Sample! has collected more than 10 tons of materials and raised more than $50,000 in scholarships since its inception. Last year’s scholarships were distributed to the Art Institute, FIT, Kean University, NYIT, Parsons The New School, Pratt Institute and School of Visual Arts. If you are a Dealer, School or A+D firm that would like to participate, please feel free to visit our website. Title: 2010 SpecSimple.com Save A Sample!
