Origami Owl Gives Back

One of the things that I love about Origami Owl as a company is their desire and ability to give back in any way that they can. After the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, Origami Owl debuted a Limited Tagged Collection Necklace where 100% of the proceeds went to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. This fundraiser recently ended and I am proud to announce that over $20,000 was raised. A big thank you to all of you who purchased those necklaces.

But Origami Owl doesn't stop there. Recently, regional events were held in San Diego, California and Nashville, Tennessee. At each of these events, attendees were encouraged to bring personal care items to donate such as shampoo, conditioner, diapers, soap, toothbrushes etc. The response was outstanding.

In San Diego, these items were donated to Hidden Treasures Foundation. This non-profit organization exists in order to restore women and children who have been victimized by sex slavery and human trafficking industry. Their vision is that each person victimized by these terrible circumstances will come to an understanding of who they were created to be and who they are in Christ...treasures.

In Nashville, the items were donated to Weaver Domestic Violence Shelter, which is the largest shelter of its kind in Tennessee. This organization offers a safe haven and services to more than 400 women and their children. They give hope and job opportunities to more than 275 General Education Degree (G.E.D) graduates at their extensive preparation program sites and help more than 200 school girls make decisions that help them to become strong, smart and bold as they shape their lives. As a Nashville native, this organization is near and dear to my heart and I'm gratefully that Origami Owl takes the time to give back.

I am extremely proud and grateful to be working for such a community and philanthropy minded company. Origami Owl truly is a force for good. Thank you to all of those who support Origami Owl and their philanthropies.
