Gift for Life, the gift and home industries’ sole national charitable organization, has announced Chavez for Charity will be honored with the Gift for Life Industry Achievement Award during Gifts and Decorative Accessories’ 65th Annual Retailer Excellence Awards on Aug. 21 in New York City.
The award recognizes overall excellence and contribution to the gift and home industry. Chavez for Charity is a fashion jewelry and accessories company that is unique in its mission. For every product sold, Chavez for Charity donates 25 percent of profits to charitable causes worldwide.
“Chavez for Charity was founded in order to support a range of charitable causes that make a difference in people’s lives,” said Joe Cerbo, co-founder and CEO of Chavez for Charity. “Co-founder Julie Marie Chavez and I are honored to accept this award on behalf of our loyal employees, rep groups and customers as well as the causes and organizations we support such as Gift for Life.”
“We deeply appreciate Julie and Joe’s dedication to supporting more than 10 charitable organizations, among them Gift for Life,” said Frank Joens, chair of the Gift for Life board. “No company has created a more compelling, stylish and rewarding partnership program. Their tremendous success story in turn becomes our success story.”
