Twice each year, Gift for Life selects individuals who have had a significant, positive impact on the gift and home industries, then recognizes them with prestigious awards reflecting their unique contributions. It’s a pretty exclusive club, including industry luminaries, visionaries, and creatives that raise the bar high with their generosity of heart and kindness of spirit.
This year’s first honorees will be celebrated at our annual winter fundraiser, Party for Life in New York on Sunday, January 29, 2012. The big evening is looming close, so we thought it might be nice to remind you who, exactly, these fan-tab-u-lous folks are that have us so impressed. Here’s the third of this year’s four Winter Honorees:
Jenny Hammons
Bert Tonkin Gift of Giving Award
As the recipient of this prestigious award, Jenny Hammons is recognized for her efforts in sustained philanthropic endeavors benefitting the entire industry, emulating GFL benefactor and award namesake, Bert Tonkin.
Hammons is a gift industry veteran and owner of Jenny Hammons/Company, which consists of West Coast-based sales organizations servicing the gift and home-décor markets in Northern California and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. She is a former Chair of the board of Gift for Life and tireless fundraiser on GFL’s behalf; her ongoing contributions and enthusiasm for our cause continues to inspire us all today.
Please join us in honoring Jenny and our other industry leaders by attending Party for Life or by donating in their honor. Either way, your dollars will have a positive impact, supporting the work done by DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS)—one of the country’s largest supporters of direct care for people living with HIV/AIDS and preventive education for those at risk.
