Holiday House, the designer table top showhouse was founded three years ago by Iris Dankner to benefit the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Iris is a thirteen year breast cancer survivor and a former executive member of the Board of Directors of Komen Greater NYC, where she served for six years. From 2005 to 2009, she also chaired the annual Komen New York City Race for the Cure® held each September in Central Park.In 2008, combining her two passions, namely her love of design and her efforts to help Komen reach its goals, Iris created Holiday House, the first designer showhouse held in New York City to benefit a breast cancer organization. Recruiting top interior designers in the New York City area, the showhouse was held in a historic mansion on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and was a resounding success, with all proceeds donated to Komen Greater NYC to help in its quest to end the scourge of breast cancer forever.
Since its inception, Holiday House has featured top designers in the field who are extremely talented and have a passion for the cause. Holiday House is about the celebration of life, with each designer selecting a holiday or a special moment in life as an inspiration for their design.
