DIFFA's largest fundraiser, DBD raises almost one million dollars annually to fght HIV/AIDS. DBD brings together internation- ally celebrated designers as well as local talent to create distinctive dining environments. The event is co-located with the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, and at- tendees can access both events with a single ticket. "Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, funders and attendees, this year's Dining By Design is set to be another huge success. Everyone gets to enjoy the fruits of a design- er's labor while helping others in need," said DIFFA Chairwoman of the Board, Cindy Allen, who is also editor-in-chief at Interior Design.
