The Gift for Life/NY Now team, led by top individual fundraiser Matthew Katzenson and team co-chairs Su Hilty and Caroline Kennedy, raised $44,500+ for this year’s AIDS Walk NY, which took place May 15. Team Gift for Life/NY NOW placed fourth in overall fundraising for the 2022 event, which brought in $2,246,787 to benefit those living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. Donations will be accepted online through June 10.

Gift for Life was founded in 1992 by a small group of gift industry professionals responding to the tragic loss of friends and colleagues as a result of AIDS. Since then, Gift for Life has raised nearly $6 million for AIDS research and education, and HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment with charity partners AmfAR and DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS. Beginning in 2020, with COVID-19 temporarily causing cancelation of in-person events at industry markets, Gift for Life pivoted toward online digital events, with a specific emphasis on supporting World Central Kitchen’s crisis-related food insecurity programs.
