Richards Holiday Shopping Event Highlights

GIFF was thrilled to kick off the month of December with a Holiday Shopping Event at Richards. At the event, GIFF announced two of our charity partners for the upcoming 2017 Festival Season: Family Centers and the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Representatives from both organizations were in attendance to help GIFF make the announcement.

Thank you to Richards for hosting the incredible evening and to all of the GIFF supporters who came out for our announcement. Follow GIFF on social media to learn how GIFF Board Members Mark Teixeira and Jenna Bush Hager help us support these amazing organizations in 2017.
