Buttons On! for DIFFA Fundraiser for UCSF’s Ward 86 HIV/AIDS Clinic to Be Held on September 13

Join the Design Industries Foundation (DIFFA)San Francisco on September 13 from 6–8 pm for a vibrant evening celebrating Buttons On!, an exhibit of the joyful and unconventional work of artist Beau McCall. The benefit will take place at the Museum of Craft and Design at 2569 3rd Street in San Francisco.

Proceeds will support DIFFA’s grant to UCSF’s Ward 86 HIV/AIDS programs at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. Since 1984, DIFFA has awarded more than $58 million nationwide, offering flexible, unrestricted funding for care and education. Today, the foundation’s mission extends to support individuals facing food insecurity, housing instability, and mental health challenges.

Presented in partnership with the Museum of Craft and Design, the exhibition honors McCall’s signature style hand-sewn buttons on upcycled fabrics, materials, and objects-spanning nearly four decades of wearable and visual art. Experience bold new creations alongside rarely seen archival pieces, and all for a great cause at the upcoming event.
