'Design On a Dime' fundraiser for discount designer furniture raises money for HIV and AIDS

CHELSEA (WABC) -- Housing Works 'Design On a Dime' is a one-night-only sale in Chelsea where you can get high-end furniture and decor for great deals, and it's all for a good cause.

The Housing Works annual fundraiser is a ticketed event.

Everything is priced up to 70 percent off retail.

All of the retail is donated by designers.

Last year's event raised more than $1 million, which helps support thousands of New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.



For Interior Designer Antonio DeLoatch, this is very personal.

"I'm from Harlem, my uncle was a gay man in the 80's. This is a feel-good thing for us, also it's about designing for good, a gift back to New York City, standing with an organization at a time when it really needs it," DeLoatch said.

Anything that does not sell will end up in House Works thrift shops all over the city and online for auction.
