Many moons ago I lived in LA county, not far from Altadena. Needless to say, the utter devastation of what has happened there really hits home. So when the call came (quite literally, from fellow jeweler Anne Gangel) to do something for those affected by the LA fires, I jumped. I’ve built an incredible community of creative friends over the years here in Colorado. And what, pray tell, is the ultimate point of that if it isn’t mobilized for the greater good?
Here is our response: We’re fundraising for direct support to individuals in the LA arts community who have lost their homes and/or studios to the fires. 20 of the best stores and designers from Colorado have come together to sweeten the deal for you, by donating items like diamond jewelry, handbags, gift cards and more to create three amazing giveaway bundles that you can win by participating. Every time you donate counts as another entry. Here are the deets:
Donate $25 via my website here, and you will be entered to win one of the three incredible giveaway bundles. There’s no limit to the number of donations you can make! Each donation serves as another entry to the giveaway!
The three giveaway bundles you can win including the following:
