Thank you Go Campaign!


We couldn't have asked for a better evening for raising awareness and funds. Thank you Go Campaign for a wonderful night! The room was bustling with guests who came out to support the cause. Everyone loved the unique interactive installation, watching the mural change every time a poster was taken. Proceeds from the sale of hand woven Rwandan Peace Baskets went to benefit survivors of the genocide to support their families. Amazing music was provided by Daye Smith.

Go Campaign is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of children globally. 100% of all public donations go to programs serving children. Since 2008, Go has funded over 35 projects in 15 countries.

The Leakeys discuss fair trade in Africa - March 10


Thanks to all who attended the Leakey event on the evening of March 10th!!! It was a wonderful group who came to hear Katy and Philip speak about fair trade in Africa and their own Leakey Collection which features products created by the Masaai tribe in Kenya. We learned that fair trade is an important step in leading to independence, not simply "money falling from the sky" but creating a beneficial collaboration between buyer and producer to help improve the lives of the Masaai.
