Industry leaders raised a glass to Gift for Life’s 30th anniversary during a GHTA reception on July 14 at Atlanta Market. Since its founding in 1992, the all-volunteer organizations has motivated the gift and home industry to donate more than $6 million in connection with at-market events, cause marketing initiatives and direct donations.  Special recognition was given to GFL founder, Peter Schauben, for his passion, tenacity in bringing the industry together to fundraise initially for HIV/AIDS research, education, treatment and education, and currently for crisis-related hunger relief.
