In response to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that struck the United States last week, Gucci is set to donate $500,000 USD to a gun-control march in Washington.

Set to take place March 24, the march is expected to draw around 500,000 attendees taking a stand against the current gun laws in America.
