Make a Day of It
Make your visit to the Albuquerque Home and Improvement Design Show even more meaningful. In partnership with Pistons for Patriots, the show is proud to benefit Paws and Stripes—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans as they navigate life after service.
By attending, you are doing more than exploring fresh ideas for your home, meeting local experts, and enjoying a day out with family or friends. You are also helping raise awareness and support for veterans through an organization committed to connection, healing, and renewed independence.
Come for the inspiration, stay for the community, and know that your visit helps make a positive difference for those who have served our country.
