I’ve written before about WITI (Why is this interesting), a favorite newsletter. They shared the following: “The non-profit World Is My Country Foundation, run by a former Green Beret we trust, is trying to raise $100k as quickly as possible to cover secure ground transportation to the flights.

Because We Love to Shop and Do Good: Athleta + Schoola
How cool is this? Schoola.com resells clothes and proceeds support different causes that schools are championing—so schools host used-clothing drives, mail in the clothes, they’re sold online, and proceeds go back to the school. So Athleta, well, we all know Athleta (some of my fave workout shorts)—premium athletic wear line from the Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy…
I AM THAT GIRL Necklace!
I LOVE this necklace. And I could have sworn I’d written about I AM THAT GIRL before, but it looks like I haven’t. The organization is all about educating and empowering the next generation of women. They say: We are shifting girl culture. By building a community for girls to be seen, be heard, and…
New Brand Obsession: Parks Project
Y’all know I sometimes get obsessed with brands that are doing awesome things with giving back, recycling, and the like, but it’s been a bit since I’ve discovered one I so instantly became obsessed with. Meet Parks Project. I don’t even know where to begin. The rad designs? The butter-soft fabrics? The protecting, preserving, and…
Share Your Heart … I love my mom
This Mother’s Day, I’m working with Clever Girls in support of Macy’s Heart of Haiti to shine a light on the “trade, not aid” program, which provides sustainable income to Haitian artisans struggling to rebuild their lives and support their families after the 2010 earthquake. Happy early Mother’s Day, Mom! Here’s a story we know…
Sign the Petition for House Bill 1830 to Protect Raw Milk

Sometimes, even you can’t charm your way in
OK, so we normally quest for the free: free swag, free food, free booze. But sometimes, even the craftiest and sneakiest and in-the-knowiest have to pay to play at the events with the best swag, food, booze … or maybe the feel-good feelings you get donating to a good cause give you the kind of…
Drink for [a] Cause(s)
It seems like there are opportunities to support local charities in just about everything you do. While I don’t normally highlight events until a day or two before, I’ve got to get this on your calendar because it’s a cause near and dear to me (that, and I’m the Brunette QB, and we need to…
Charity Bash at Molotov
They say it better than me: They say: CharityBash is the perfect mix: entertainment, a good time, and philanthropy. It’s based on two simple ideas. First, we all deserve to relax and have fun. Second, for Austin to remain the city we love, we all need to support its nonprofits organizations. Spend time at a…
