NEW YORK – The Design Industries Foundation (DIFFA) is partnering with Sewciety NYC to host its now-annual Threads for Impact fundraiser.
Taking place on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 6–9 p.m. at Steelcase’s Columbus Circle showroom (4 Columbus Circle), this one-night-only event will spotlight sustainability and creative reuse in the design industry.
“Threads for Impact continues to demonstrate how ingenuity, sustainability and community can come together to inspire significant change,” says Dawn Roberson, Executive Director of DIFFA. “Through our growing collaboration with Sewciety NYC, we’re creating meaningful opportunities to engage people with both the artistry of the work and its larger impact.”
Those unable to attend can still play a pivotal role in the fundraising efforts with the Remote Bidder Package, allowing registrants to bid on the stunning assortment of quilts and jackets featured in the online auction. Tickets can be purchased at the link here.
Sewciety NYC is an artisan collective founded by Abigail French, Regional Vice President at Steelcase and Katie Buhl, Associate Principal at Unispace.
All proceeds will go toward advancing DIFFA’s mission of assisting those impacted by food and housing insecurities, mental health challenges and HIV/AIDS.
