Gift for Life, the gift and home decor industries' leading charitable organization, will expand its Change for Life fundraising initiative into stationery.
Change for Life raises charitable funds via a modest donation from manufacturers for each order received at a trade event. During the Winter 2011 gift and home markets, more than $20,000 in contributions were raised through more than thirty participating companies.
Corporate partners in the stationery industry are being sought in order to maximize donations for 2011. Companies exhibiting at the National Stationery Show, May 15-18, are being asked to donate a minimum of $0.50 per order received at the show.
"We look forward to continuing the expansion of this efficient and important fundraising program that is so easy to manage and makes a big different," said Stu Teller, vice-chair of Gift for Life. "The stationery industry is filled with generous companies that will help expand Change for Life."
