Please join us to celebrate the holiday season and our charitable donations on Wednesday, December 7, for a night of libations, networking and charity!

DRAWING
Drawing proceeds will benefit sponsoring new IIDA Student Membership! If you are interested in donating a drawing prize, please contact Cynthia Bartley at [email protected]

BENEFICIARY
IIDA New England is pleased to work with the YWCA Rhode Island for this year's Gingerbread Express Donation Drive! YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

The Gingerbread Express Donation Drive collects clothing, necessities and toys for students in need to brighten their holiday season. Each student designs a gingerbread cookie cutout listing information about their clothing needs and gift wishes. As a donor, you simply purchase the gifts you can, wrap them and bundle them securely (in a large bag for example), attaching the gingerbread tag, and bring that to the Holiday Gala on December 7. We do ask that each bundle include both one necessity item (clothing for example) and a fun item (toy for example). Feel free to team up with others as well!

If you're unable to attend the Gala but wish to still participate, please contact Debbie at (401) 639-0052 or at [email protected], and she will arrange a pick up.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please reach out to Debbie at (401) 639-0052 or at [email protected]
