DIFFA’s Midnight Masque at St. John the Divine

DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation) is hosting Midnight Masque, its highly anticipated annual masquerade ball and gala, on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the stunning Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. Set against the largest Gothic cathedral in North America, the evening will feature cocktails, dinner, immersive student design installations, and spellbinding entertainment—all in support of DIFFA’s mission to combat HIV/AIDS, food and housing insecurities, and mental health challenges.

This year, DIFFA will honor the Angelo Donghia Foundation for its dedication to the DIFFA Student Design Initiative, which has provided hundreds of students with hands-on experience and mentorship. With federal funding for many essential programs at risk, DIFFA’s fundraising efforts are more crucial than ever.
