Tables for Tots

Here's your chance to not only get a truly one-of-a-kind piece of functional art, but also help out the Ronald McDonald House of San Diego.

This wonderful event, called Tables for Tots, was created by OFS Brands as a way to partner with the design community and raise money for local charities nationwide. OFS Brands has teamed with G/M Business Interiors who chose the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego as their official charity.

Local San Diego designers and artists turned these simple child-size table and chairs into amazing original works of art that will be auctioned off on ebay to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. Each team was given a plain table and chairs made of untreated solid pine and their creativity took off.

My amazingly talented and long-time friend, Leslie, owner and creative director of Lilac Design Studios, and Erik Bolton designed this table to honor Leslie's sweet boy, Dylan Joseph, who passed away at the age of 5.



FROM THE EBAY AUCTION::
This table was inspired by a 5-year-old boy who loved to race Hot Wheels--His name was Dylan Joseph Reilly (D.J.)* In honor of Dylan, designers Leslie L.J. Reilly and Erik Bolton created a race track game complete with a real moving steering wheel. Real adjustable seat belts (which also may be worn as belts) accompany each chair and the race package includes two logo T-shirts, canvas carrying bags, four new Hot Wheels cars, a checkered flag banner and a game booklet. We hope the children who ultimately enjoy this can feel the joy of racing, driving and game-playing.

Take a look at the amazing designs done by these talented artists and bid on your favorite. One of these tables would make the perfect gift for just about any occasion: baby shower, birthday, Christmas, start of school...you name it.

The auctions close on August 20th.
