On Friday, November 20, 2015, National Philanthropy Day, the ALEX AND ANI Global Brand Relations (GBR) team attended the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) award ceremony at Twin River Casino to receive recognition for Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation of Rhode Island.
Our CHARITY BY DESIGN® partner, Plan International, was in attendance as they notimated ALEX AND ANI for this award.
As part of the award ceremony, AFP produced a short two minute video highlighting all of the award winners, including the work of our CHARITY BY DESIGN division and our partnership with Plan International. Members of our GBR team were in attendance and Lauren Bettencourt, CHARITY BY DESIGN Brand Communications Manager, gave a heartfelt acceptance speech.
While the nomination for this award could not have been possible without Plan International, our network of partners in the Rhode Island community all came together to support us in this nomination, including A Wish Come True, Inc., Roger Williams Park Zoo, Rhode Island Blood Center, and the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
We are truly humbled by this honor and look forward to many more years of giving back!
