This month, DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS will present its newly-revamped Specify with Care® program to the design industry at BDNY (November 10-11, Booth 3353). As DIFFA’s cause marketing program, Specify with Care® invites companies to donate a percentage of sales from designated collections to support DIFFA’s mission. Proceeds will go to DIFFA grantees to combat HIV/AIDS and provide care and support to affected individuals and communities. Besides the goodwill a company generates by taking part in the program, DIFFA offers its affiliates an array of marketing benefits.

The Specify with Care® counter at BDNY offers an opportunity for DIFFA and its affiliated partners to showcase these products and interact with leading professionals in hospitality and commercial interiors, and the greater design community. It will also feature designs and special giveaways from notable Specify with Care® affiliates that support DIFFA year-round including, BLANCO, Lee Jofa, Maya Romanoff, and Wolf-Gordon Inc.

“Specify with Care® is a win-win proposition,” said Rick Wolf, whose company Wolf-Gordon Inc. is a pioneer in the program and DIFFA’s single largest contributor. “It associates manufacturers’ names with a good cause and differentiates their products.”

Learn more about Specify with Care® here or visit DIFFA at BDNY, booth #3353.
