About the GIFT FOR LIFE and DIFFA Relationship:
In 2008, Gift For Life unanimously selected DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS as its sole charity partner. After an extensive review of charitable partners, DIFFA was chosen because of its strong leadership team, a pledge of long-term support of Gift For Life, and its close ties to the gift, stationery and home décor industries.
Gift For Life's STAKES ARE HIGH Casino, Benefitting DIFFA
On January 25, 2009, Gift For Life and DIFFA celebrated their new relationship in an explosion of unadulterated indulgence — Vegas style! The STAKES ARE HIGH Casino, held on the opening day of the New York International Gift Fair, included dancing, music, delectable food and drink, exquisite & envy-inspiring casino prizes, and even a touch of the bizarre!... that is, if you consider a 12 foot Burmese Albino Python to be bizarre!
It was a beautiful night, everyone had a lot of fun, and it all went to a great cause! Click here to see our ad thanking our many sponsors.
