Gucci has been working with UNICEF for four years, and have donated a great deal to the cause of the world’s children, health and future. In 2005 Gucci began by donating 20% of sales to UNICEF children affected by HIV/AIDS. The partnership blossomed into an ongoing effort to help the world’s children. In 2006 the company designed a Christmas line especially to earn revenue for UNICEF children, with another 20% of revenue from the specialty line donated to the 1.5 million children orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Jennifer Connelly hosted the 2007 Gucci UNICEF drive. 2008’s UNICEF drive was hosted by Madonna, another Hollywood celebrity whose passions for underprivileged children have long been public knowledge.
