As always, charity is a major focus with GBK gift lounges. The GBK NY Fashion Week Styling Lounge featured three favorite charities. Fashion Delivers, whose mission is to mobilize the fashion community to reach out and affect the world through their donations of new products from the men's, women's and home industries, will donate relief and dignity to survivors of natural disasters and others in need. The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement is a premier source of information and education that connects millions of women of all ages and gives them tangible resources to turn personal choices into lifesaving actions. The AHA is the nation's oldest and largest voluntary health organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of heart disease and stroke and Go Red For Women.

They continued on with this mission during NYFW as GBK donated $10,000 to The American Heart Association and National Volunteer Star Jones. Jones is putting her $10,000 gift bag up for auction. Green Smoke® and GBK aligned with H.E.R.O commemorating the 10th anniversary of September 11th by donating $100 for every celebrity and fashion industry personality that visited the lounge.

H.E.R.O's primary mission is to support and assist the non-profit organizations that help these 'heroes' in their time of greatest need. The Green Smoke® H.E.R.O partnership provides financial aid and product support to offset financial needs faced by the non-profit organizations which support heroes and the families of deployed and injured heroes.
