Gift for Life, the gift, stationery and home decor industries’ leading charitable organization, announced today that despite rainy weather an enthusiastic Gift For Life/National Stationery Show team completed the 2013 AIDS Walk New York 10K fundraiser. A total of more than $15,000 was raised for men, women, and families who are living with HIV/AIDS. More than $10,000 of the total was donated by members of the stationery, gift and home industries and included a generous matching grant from DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS).

Some 15 team members completed the 10K walk through Central Park and New York’s Upper West Side, and another 6 team members conducted a “virtual” walk through the aisles of the National Stationery Show on Sunday, May 19.
