RAM Gallery recently hosted an incredible fundraiser featuring Josh Raiffe’s handblown glass purses, with 10% of proceeds donated to the Scleroderma Research Foundation. It was a beautiful blend of art and philanthropy, underscoring Josh’s commitment to advancing scleroderma research.

“My mom has been living with scleroderma for decades, so I’ve seen the hardship it can cause,” says Josh Raiffe, founder of Raiffe Glass. “Being able to donate to the SRF has really made her and I feel connected to the scleroderma community.”

His unique, hand-crafted glass handbags have garnered attention from some of the biggest names in fashion, including Doja Cat, Kylie Jenner, and Gigi Hadid. His creations have been featured at New York and Paris Fashion Week, showcasing his incredible talent and passion for art. His dedication to using his work for a greater cause makes this fundraiser for scleroderma research even more special.

We want to give a huge thank you to Josh for his generosity and to Megan, the owner of RAM Gallery, for making this event possible. Their support is helping to fund vital research for a cure for scleroderma.
