Buttons On! for DIFFA
A Night of Art, Advocacy, and Impact
Thanks to supporters like you, the closing celebration of Beau McCall: Buttons On! at the Museum of Craft and Design on September 13 was fun and inspiring night of art, advocacy, and impact.
Because of your generosity, DIFFA presented a grant to Dr. Monica Gandhi, medical director of Ward 86, the pioneering HIV clinic at UCSF’s Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. This gift was made possible by contributions from DIFFA chapters in Chicago, Dallas, New York, and San Francisco.
Follow us on social media and watch for more DIFFA San Francisco events where design meets advocacy. We’d love to see you again!

OUR BENEFICIARY
The HIV Clinic at Ward 86
DIFFA San Francisco is proud to support the Ward 86 HIV Clinic at UCSF Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.
As the world’s first HIV outpatient clinic, Ward 86 was founded to fight a fatal, indiscriminate disease that no one understood. Today, Ward 86 is a global leader in HIV and infectious diseases (ID) care. The practice of “the San Francisco Model” of care—an approach that was developed at Ward 86 and encourages integration and collaboration—has yielded innovations in HIV and ID care, and continues to build our understanding of disease and empower patients to thrive.
Making a DIFFArence.
DIFFA supports organizations serving LGBTQ youth, at-risk minorities, and incarcerated individuals, addressing critical issues like HIV/AIDS prevention, food and housing insecurities, and healthcare access. With a focus on closing gaps left by declining government funding, DIFFA prioritizes preventing new HIV/AIDS cases among vulnerable populations, sheltering the unhoused, feeding the hungry, and providing support for those impacted by opioid addiction, driving meaningful change nationwide.
