Since 1977, the annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase has benefited San Francisco University High School's financial aid program, raising more than $10 million in its 31 years. The San Francisco Decorator Showcase is widely considered to be the West Coast's premiere design showhouse event, renowned for featuring the work of the region's top interior and landscape designers. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, the participation of hundreds of accomplished designers, the school's trustees, parents, faculty, alumni, students, friends, and the thousands of Showcase visitors each year; the San Francisco Decorator Showcase allows San Francisco University High School to offer financial aid to 25% of its students.

It is through the community's continued support that quality education has been made available over the past three decades to hundreds of deserving Bay Area students. The 2008 Decorator Showcase raised a record $713,267.
