AMX

RICHARDSON, Texas – August 5, 2014 – HARMAN's AMX announced the installation of their 'Seas the Day' playhouse, joining a host of other creative playhouses built and donated by local companies in the 19th annual charitable event, 2014 Parade of Playhouses at North Park Center in Dallas which runs from August 1-17. The event aims to raise awareness and funds for Dallas CASA, an organization of volunteers dedicated to helping abused and neglected children have safe, permanent homes.

In keeping with the summer water theme, this year's playhouse also includes some fun backyard extras like a Slip 'N Slide® kit, not to mention squirt guns and towels to dry off after a long day at sea. "There is no better feeling than knowing our efforts are going to help kids find safe homes and give them a chance to have fun, too," added Chris Bruce, AMX Tradeshow Manager.

From August 1-17; Dallas CASA, AMX and SWD invite and encourage the community to visit NorthPark Center and the online Parade of Playhouses to check out all of this year's playhouses, learn more about Dallas CASA and purchase raffle tickets for any of the playhouses. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20. Visitors can also learn more about supporting and volunteering with this extremely worthwhile cause.

"You really have to come out to NorthPark and see all the creative playhouses in person to get the full effect," said Tony Couzelis, AMX Director, Marketing Engineering. "We all look forward to this project every year because we get to think like kids and build something just for fun," added Jason Fain, SWD employee. "Parade of Playhouses gives children who come to NorthPark the chance to win a fabulous playhouse," said Kathleen M. LaValle, Dallas CASA Executive Director & President. "At the same time, it gives abused and neglected children the best chance of having the safe and loving homes they've dreamed of."
