A foundation that has been raising money for charities around the world since 1998 is honouring three philanthropists who make their work happen.
Tell me more.
The Housewares Charity Foundation (HCF) honoured Daniel Leppo, Executive Vice President and GMM, Menswear at Bloomingdale's, William Endres, president of Select Brands; and Clea Shearer, co-founder of The Home Edit, for their philanthropic endeavours.
Each year, the HCT board of directors selects outstanding individuals for their humanitarian efforts and exceptional leadership. For 2023, Daniel and Clea will receive the Humanitarian of the Year award and William will receive the Lifetime Achievement award.
Announced at a gala ceremony in March 2023, the proceeds will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), as well as the James Beard Foundation, Winning with Wyatt, and the V Foundation.
Since the first gala in 1998, HCF has raised over $55 million and has been credited with donating over $32 million to BCRF.
