Announcing the second year of PAWchitecture Greenville, a unique design competition and auction that blends team creativity, animal compassion, and community involvement.
This year’s event promises to be even more exciting and impactful, with a goal to raise $7,500 for the Greenville Humane Society, a no-kill shelter dedicated to providing care and finding forever homes for animals in need.
PAWchitecture Greenville is a collaborative design competition and fundraising campaign, in partnership with the AIA Greenville Chapter, SC NOMA, CSI Greenville, and The Salvation Army RED SHIELD Youth Center. This event showcases beautifully designed doghouses and cat furniture, which will be on display in downtown Greenville on the morning of April 26th.
