$100,000 Raised to Support Central Texas Flood Relief

By Erin McDermott

This community showed up big — because of YOU we were able to raise $100,000 for those impacted by the devastating floods in Central Texas.

 

 

On July 6, in response to the Central Texas floods, we announced that 100% of the proceeds from our colorful beaded necklaces would be going directly to those impacted. Our kind customers shopped the $25 tiny beaded necklaces until we were sold out. Then, we added more pieces at a $40 price point and these sold quickly as well. In less than 48 hours, our community raised over $100,000 — leaving us shocked at your generosity and altruism. 

Who You Helped

After lots of thought and conversations, we decided to donate $10,000 each to 10 separate organizations, listed below.
