As part of its contribution, Hartmann created special, full-grain leather, red coaster set embossed with the signature AIDS ribbon. This coaster set will be sold on www.hartmann.com, the Web site of the National AIDS Fund, www.aidsfund.org as well as on the Kimpton Hotel Web site www.kimptonhotels.com.
The coasters, which sell for $75, will be available through World AIDS Day, which is December 1. Fifteen percent of all sales from the coaster set will be donated to the National AIDS Fund.
