Donate Today To Help Disaster Survivors and Support our AzPPA President's Charity!
In 2017 – 2018 we have experienced what seems to be an ever-growing number of natural disasters - fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods. The 2018 President’s charity is PPDRF, the Promotional Products Disaster Recovery Foundation which has been set up to help promotional products industry members get back to business in the wake of a federally-declared natural disaster. The fund can help replace lost equipment and supplies - computers, cell phones, office supplies - promotional products catalogs and samples, provide a work area, or give other assistance as needed to get an affected business up and running as soon as possible.
Make sure that your donations are designated as coming from an AzPPA member so that our region can receive credit. Read more about this effort on the
PPAI website
. Please consider making a tax deductible donation today. The link is on our website:
