Gift for Life, the gift and home industries’ sole charitable organization, has announced the launch of a new cause marketing program led by three gift companies – all with owners under the age of 40. Each pledged to donate $1,500 to Gift for Life from sales raised from products in their lines throughout 2017.
Ann Page, Duke Cannon Supply Company and The Urban Agriculture Company each have pledged to donate. The products in the inaugural program include: four birthday card designs from Ann Page LLC, the Handsome Man Grooming Can from Duke Cannon Supply Company and the Poppy “Flower for Life” Organic Flower Grow Kit from The Urban Agriculture Company.
“These three companies are all doing extremely well in the marketplace not only because of their quality products but also because of their community focus and philanthropic spirit,” said Frank Joens, chair of the Gift for Life board.
“We are honored to be able to partner with our industry’s next generation to raise awareness and much needed funds, and we hope that this first Under 40 initiative helps sparks similar interest among others in the industry,” Joens said.
Gift for Life’s Cause Marketing program has raised nearly $70,000 for Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) in the last year alone. For more information about Gift for Life’s Cause Marketing Program, contact Cause Marketing co-chairs, Matt Katzenson or Nancy Michael.
