On the weekend of November 14, 2003, Arhaus furniture (http://www.arhaus.com/) held a marvelous fundraising event. Ten percent of all sales that weekend were donated to The Ricky King Children’s Fund.The weekend was kicked off by a Thursday evening Chinese auction in which a dozen items from the Arhaus inventory were given away. Among them, an exquisite hand-made leather chair, finished on-site by a master craftsman over a three-hour period.
