Roar for a Cure!

Pantone announced their color of the year for 2013 yesterday and we are so excited! Emerald green will be everywhere in the upcoming year. This bold, saturated hue evokes rejuvenation, life, and nature. We couldn't be happier as are all you red-heads, I'm sure!

So, in the spirit of "going green" we thought this would be the perfect time to tell you about our newest project. The past few years IFB has been involved with a local charity, Ryan's Quest. This year we are taking on a larger role and designing all of the decor for the annual Valentine Ball. Ryan's Quest raises awareness for children with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (for more info click the link.)

The theme for the ball this year is the Roaring 20's. The IFB team has decided to use repurposed and upcycled materials. Utilizing innovation and a keen eye, the team will be creating a setting of which Jay Gatsby would approve.

Common household items like toilet paper rolls, packing peanuts, and coffee filters will be transformed into works of art that will reflect the 1920's philosophy of rebirth.

"We really want to blow people away this year and this is such a worthy cause," said Janene.

If you would like to help by collecting items for reuse, we would love to arrange a pick-up. Or if you would like to purchase tickets, become a sponsor, or donate items for silent auction prizes, contact us or follow the link to the Ryan's Quest website.

This is going to be the event of the year! See you there!
