Memphis Heritage's

Second Annual Adapt-A-Door Fundraiser

Here's how it works...

Contestants will be able to choose from a collection of doors, gathered by our dedictated Preservation Posse Volunteers, to recycle and transform it into a fabulous work of art. The only limitation is your imagination and using at least 70% of the original door. Then you make a PERSONAL....CREATIVE....MASTERPIECE out of your door!

April 12 - ENTRY DEADLINE: You decide to let your creative mind go wild and enter the
Adapt-A-Door Competition by this date.

April 24 - "Donut Door Dash" 10 a.m. You pick up the door of your choice at our Second Annual "Donut Door Dash" which will take place at the Historic Marine Hospital,

360 Metal Museum Drive. New this year...windows will also be available if you prefer.

July 28 - Delivery Drop off your work of art to Memphis Heritage by this deadline.

Last year we saw ALL KINDS of transformations which included a uniqe and wonderful floor lamp shown below, which stole the show! Other works of art included looks of stained glass, coffee tables, head boards, a treasure chest, and even a rocking chair!
