Event Raises Proceeds to Protect Over 23 African Families in the Fight Against Malaria, the Number One Killer of Children in Africa

DUBLIN, CA – July 3, 2007 – Hillsdale Home Fine Décor Warehouse raised proceeds to protect over 23 African families in the fight against Malaria at its Summer Entertaining Charity Event hosting the Women of Windemere social club. The event featured a summer cooking demonstration by Rodney Worth, owner and executive chef of acclaimed Danville restaurant The Peasant & The Pear followed by “Setting the Perfect Table” tabletop design demonstration by Deb Sands, lead designer for Hillsdale Home.

Hillsdale Home donated 10 percent of the evening proceeds to Nothing But Nets, a non-profit organization, set up by the UN foundation, dedicated to preventing Malaria, one of the most serious global health issues and the number one killer of children in Africa. Nothing But Nets provides and distributes insecticide treated mosquito nets and educates families on the usage of these nets, which have the ability to protect a family against the contraction of Malaria for up to four years.

“As a new member of Dublin, Hillsdale Home seeks to play an active role in this great community, its events and issues, as well as charitable causes. Our Summer Entertaining charity event is just the first in a host of events and initiatives that we plan to participate in and sponsor to show our support and dedication to our area and the world at large,” said Matthew Griffiths, Hillsdale Home Dublin store manager and investor. “Hillsdale Home is a proud sponsor of the Nothing But Nets campaign in the fight against malaria because we feel strongly about safeguarding the world’s families against life threatening disease and illnesses like malaria.”

Chef Worth’s Summer Cooking demonstration focused on simple summer favorites with a twist such a fresh peach bruschetta and summer berry salad with homemade poppy seed dressing. Hillsdale Home Lead Designer Sands’ tabletop design demonstration highlighted ways to create an artistic and inviting atmosphere through tabletop design for dining, cocktail and console tables. Sands noted that use and functionality are key design factors and should be of primary consideration when putting together tabletop displays.

Since it was founded in 2004, Hillsdale Home has been working closely with the design community and clients in the greater Sacramento and East Bay Area to create functionally beautiful living spaces that address individual lifestyle needs and reflect personal style. Furthermore, Hillsdale Home’s design driven product offering focuses on incorporating the latest in interior design with classic and timeless elements, featuring diverse collections and product lines that define global chic and that “well traveled” look that is so popular today.

The company’s unique vision of offering value driven home décor, unique and high quality products, as well as premium services has enabled it to set itself apart in the greater Sacramento home décor market and establish a strong reputation in the area, resulting in continued strong growth in a slowing market. As a result, Hillsdale Home made the decision to expand its business, opening locations in the Bay Area’s rapidly growing Dublin and the Salt Lake City markets. Hillsdale Home-Dublin opened its doors last spring and Hillsdale Home-Salt Lake City is scheduled to open early fall.
