October is…
Posted By mikicatdesigns on October 3, 2009
…a very special month for us. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Miki lost her own mother to this insidious disease, so did her sister-in-law. One of her best friends has been battling it for years and so many other women have lost women they love and care for; mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, nieces and friends. So we are dedicating proceeds of sales this month in their honor. October is also Domestic Violence Prevention month and is yet another thing women need contend with.
Our campaign is THINK PINK & PURPLE! We will be donating 20% of ALL sales from all three shops (website, Etsy and Artfire) to “Susan G. Komen for the Cure“. An additional 10% of all THINK PINK & PURPLE items will also be donated to “Women in Distress of Broward“. It doesn’t matter what colors you prefer or buy, you can still THINK PINK & PURPLE by purchasing something from our shops, for yourself or a friend, and know that you’ve helped contribute a little bit to the search for the cure.
We are joining with other Guilds, Shops and Teams for this fund raising campaign. This Fundraiser will start on October 1st and run through October 31st. Participating Guild studios will be donating a % of their sales for the month to one or both of the causes. We will be listing the shops, guilds and team sites participating in this event so you can help them help others.
- Artfire Jewelry Designers and Jewelry Supply Shops
- 1BeadAtATime – Beaded Bracelet
- Livngood – Keys to Hope keychain
***Please ‘Help Us Help’ these very worthy causes***
If you would like to add your shop, guild or team link to this list, please email us privately.
