Miami Valley NARI's Designer Dog Houses for Charity
Miami Valley NARI's Designer Dog Houses for Charity program is designed to provide various charities throughout the Miami Valley with an opportunity for recognition and funding by the raffling of designer dog houses designed and built by members of the Miami Valley NARI. Just as Kettering did with cars and Toledo did with Frogs, Miami Valley NARI will do with dog houses.
Members of the chapter have committed to designing and building a unique dog house that will be raffled to consumers between now and HomeWorld 2005, the area's largest and most complete home show. HomeWorld 2005 will take place February 10-13 at the Dayton Expo Center. All dog houses will be prominently displayed throughout the four-day event with tickets sold prior to the show and at the show.The drawings will be conducted at 5:00 p.m. on February 13, 2024 at the HomeWorld Show - winners need not be present to win.
Tickets will be $2.00 each. Ticket purchasers and charity supporters will have the opportunity to put all of their chances towards a particular dog house or spread the wealth and take chances on several different houses.
The following NARI members will be designing and building the houses. All proceeds will go to the charity listed.

We thank the members involved, those suppliers who have donated materials for the houses and to the charities for making this program a success. We are looking forward to raffling off nine Designer Dog Houses, each unique and top of the line. There will be nine very happy pet owners, not to mention pets, in the Miami Valley!
