On August 26th, 2025, DIFFA Chicago’s Auxiliary Board brought together the city’s design and philanthropic communities for an inspiring evening of wellness and giving at Do It For DIFFA: Pose With A Purpose. Hosted inside MDC’s beautiful Merchandise Mart Showroom, guests enjoyed a restorative alllevels yoga session led by instructor Maci Hanson, whose grounding guidance helped everyone unwind, reconnect, and reset.
After the yoga flow, attendees mingled over light refreshments, strengthening community ties while supporting DIFFA Chicago’s mission to provide essential funding for HIV/AIDS programs. Donations from the evening went directly toward DIFFA’s Excellence In Care grant program.
A special thank you to photographer Nick Robbins for beautifully capturing the energy, connection, and purpose of the evening.
