Gift For Life/National Stationery Show team raises money for AIDS Walk New York

Gift for Life, the gift, stationery and home décor industries’ leading charitable organization, announced today that the Gift For Life/National Stationery Show team raised more than $28,000 for men, women, and families who are living with HIV/AIDS, including a generous $5,000 grant from DIFFA (Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS).  Additional donations, which will help the team meet its $40,000 goal, will be accepted through June 16 at https://ny.aidswalk.net/GFLNSS2017.

This year marked the sixth consecutive cooperation of Gift for Life and the National Stationery Show to participate in the AIDS Walk NY, which takes place in New York City on Opening Day of the National Stationery Show.  As of May 19, the team is ranked 11th overall in team fundraising, and the 2017 AIDS Walk NY – which was the 32nd annual event – has raised a collective $4,580,000+ for GMHC.

“It was the most magnificent day to walk the 10k in Central Park, and the seven of us DID IT!” enthused Su Hilty, team co-leader. She added that her team is asking the industry to help  reach the last 30 percent of the $40,000 goal with post-event donations.
