Annual “Design For A Cause” Event Supports Community Wellness
Austin, Texas – In a remarkable display of community spirit and entrepreneurial commitment, Living Oak Interior Design recently held its 3rd Annual “Design For A Cause” event on November 14, 2025. The fundraiser, which took place at the firm’s Brentwood location, successfully raised over $28,000 for The Children’s Therapy Spot scholarship fund, significantly surpassing the amounts raised in previous years. This event not only highlights the initiative taken by local businesses to support community needs but also showcases the positive impact that such private efforts can have amidst a challenging economic landscape.
With approximately 130 attendees enjoying a night filled with art, music, raffles, and a silent auction, the fundraiser demonstrated the resilience and dedication of Austin’s business community. As local entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of economic growth, events like “Design For A Cause” exemplify how minimal regulation and community involvement can foster an environment where charitable ventures flourish. Over three years, this annual event has generated a substantial $50,000, providing critical therapy sessions for families in need across the Austin area.
Community Impact: Supporting Children’s Therapy Needs
The Children’s Therapy Spot is an essential resource for families, providing multidisciplinary therapy services, including speech-language, occupational, and physical therapy. The financial burden of therapy can be daunting; annual costs often range from $5,000 to over $20,000, particularly for children with Autism. Such expenses create significant barriers for many families who may lack adequate insurance coverage. The funds raised through “Design For A Cause” directly address these challenges, enabling access to therapies that help children achieve their fullest potential.
A Evening of Fun and Philanthropy
This year’s event featured an array of engaging activities, including a silent auction and wine tasting. Local art was exhibited, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere, while 10 percent of all retail purchases at Living Oak Home were donated to the scholarship fund. Partnerships with local sponsors, such as Four Hands, The Morshed Group, Cool Creek Family Dental, and Unicorn Moving and Storage, played a vital role in the event’s success, exemplifying how businesses can collaborate to make a meaningful difference in their communities.
Looking Ahead: Future Events and Continued Support
Building on the success of this year’s event, Living Oak Interior Design is already planning for its fourth annual “Design For A Cause” fundraiser, scheduled for November 2026.
