Stella & Dot - Breast Cancer Awareness Support - October 2018

In support of breast cancer awareness month, Stella & Dot is proud to partner with Bright Pink, an organization focused on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women.

From now through October 31, 2018, Stella & Dot will donate 20% of the retail purchase price of eligible sales of the Tribute Bracelet to Bright Pink.

Both of my grandmothers fought and survived breast cancer, so this cause is near and dear to my heart. My doctor also informed me at my annual exam this year that I would start needing to get mammograms at 35 (which is about 2.5 years away)!

📣 PSA: It's never too early to take care of your health - early detection is so important. Schedule your appointment if you haven't already!

 

With that, one of the many reasons I love Stella & Dot is that I am able to give back to causes in so many meaningful ways. I need additional support to make a HUGE impact this year - and I've got TWO more ways to you can help!

I'm doing something I've never done before... and I'm partnering up with TWO resourceful and local organizations in Austin, TX - the Breast Cancer Resource Center and Susan G. Komen Austin to support my very lovely customers and friends who have connections to these organizations!

1️⃣️️) SHOP! 🛍️ If you would like to shop to support either of two local organizations that I'm partnering with, I'll be donating 10% of my commission from all sales made through specific links where I can track toward each organization separately.

You can purchase a Tribute Bracelet through either one of these links, as well, for a double donation!

To support Susan G. Komen Austin, shop here: www.stelladot.com/ts/tc17a

Stella & Dot Tribute Bracelet is the first bracelet from the left.

2️⃣) SPONSOR A POUF! 🎗 I am putting together care packages to share with the BCRC and to distribute to their selected cancer care centers and hospitals. When you sponsor a pouf (cute little bag!) for $28, I will use my commission to fill each one with care items to help ease with the chemotherapy treatment.

All poufs purchased by you will be shared on the tag, but if you would like to donate in memory or honor of someone, please let me know and I will include that in the note!

I have a BIG goal to sponsor at least 50 Chemo Care Packages! And as of October 14, we've sponsored 16 - so 34 to go! (I'll continue to update the number on the blog as we continue toward the goal!)

Update - 10/22/2018: We have hit 20 poufs sponsored and 30 to go!!!

Update - 10/30/2018: We have hit 31 poufs sponsored and 19 to go!!!

Please reach out to me by e-mail if you want to sponsor a pouf and how many you’d like to sponsor, and I'll provide the payment details for you to donate via PayPal or Venmo.

AND to give something back to YOU for your support, for every pouf you sponsor, you'll be entered to win the Covet diamond "Intention" necklace in white gold for helping me spread the positive vibes and intentions to others!

Thank you so much for your support. You will be making a difference to a woman fighting breast cancer. We all know too many women who have had to fight. 💗

Xo,
Whitney

Stella & Dot - October 2017 Bright Pink Boutique for Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast cancer runs on both sides of my family... and this cause becomes more and more impactful to me each year, especially as my doctor just told me that I would need to get my first mammogram 4 years from now. Early detection and awareness start now!

October is the month where everything turns pink for breast cancer awareness month -- and many times, they are products with materials or ingredients that are actually linked to cancer. I am not posting this to add to the "pink-washing" but I do believe 100% in raising awareness for early detection/prevention -- and if you can do it while shopping for the holidays or adding to your personal jewelry collection, why the heck not share it?! {And per usual, all of the items in Stella & Dot's "pink boutique" are non-toxic and nickel/lead-safe!}

Bracelets pictured from L to R: Fortitude Wishing Bracelet, Signature Engravable Bar Cuff - Silver, Sierra Double Wrap Bracelet - Slate

Did you know Stella & Dot has donated over $850,000 towards various breast and ovarian cancer nonprofits? With the number of women around my age or even younger that I personally know getting diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancer, I can say confidently that this is SO important.

Last year, we kicked off an amazing partnership with Chicago-based Bright Pink, a non-profit dedicated to the prevention and early detection of both breast and ovarian cancer. Our 2016 bracelets provided over $100,000 to Bright Pink to use towards vital services and programming and this year will be even more awesome!

In addition to our annual bracelet - the Fortitude Wishing Bracelet, check out our rose gold pouf (trés chic!) and our "Better Together" boutique featuring key pieces from our sister brands, KEEP collective and Ever Skincare! KEEP features a stylish new take on charm bracelets and other personalized accessories while Ever actually has won numerous beauty awards since its inception just three short years ago!

I am loving the Fortitude Wishing Bracelet as it mixes semi-precious pyrite and hematite beads with rose, silver, and smoky tones. Anyone can have courage in this lovely mixed metal wishing bracelet!

All proceeds from 8 items on my e-boutique (under "Collections" > "Shop for a Cause") will go to Bright Pink this month. (Link in the comments.) You can simply shop or share and I will be so grateful!

Pictured "Shop for a Cause" Styles: Stella & Dot Fortitude Wishing Bracelet $24 | Keep Blessed Rose Gold $15 | Keep Key FOB-Rose Gold/Gunmetal $25 | Keep Awareness Pink/Rose Gold $9 | Ever SMOOTH-All Over Beauty Balm $15 | Keep Love Rose Gold $15 | Keep Silicone Single Band Pink/Gold $19 | Stella & Dot Pouf-Pink Champagne $24

If you want to do more, think about hosting a simple style session this month to make a bigger impact and help your friends get easy, free and fun styling for the Fall/Holiday season. My October is almost fully booked (especially the weekends!) -- but I would be happy to send you my calendar if you'd like to grab a date (either online or in-person)! Please e-mail me for more details.

October Breast Cancer Awareness - Shop for a Cause

In October, 100% of net proceeds from our Breast Cancer Awareness Boutique will support the Noreen Fraser Foundation.

This is the second year in a row that Stella & Dot has partnered with the Noreen Fraser Foundation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last year (2012), we raised over $185,000 for breast cancer research and early detection. Funds raised last year helped NFF fund a lab at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center so that researchers there can test a cutting edge new epigenetic therapy for breast cancer.

In Canada, NFF provided the University of Alberta with a grant so doctors there could test a new radiation therapy for women with early stage breast cancer.

We're back this year with a selection of items for our boutique that you will love - so let's all work together and fight Breast Cancer in style!

The pieces featured in this boutique are the Union Square Frida scarf, the Geneve Linear earrings in rose gold, the Hope necklace, the Geneve Lace Cuff in rose gold, the Wanderlust Triple Wrap bracelet in pink and the Wanderlust Single Wrap bracelet in pink.
