What a magical end to 2011! Thanks to the incredible support of the Elephant Heart customers, we were able to not only meet, but exceed our donation goal for the Bob Woodruff Foundation!
Our final donation tally is $7200!!
On behalf of the entire Elephant Heart team, I want to thank all of our customers who so enthusiastically supported our Elephant Heart Necklace project with the Woodruff Foundation. Together, as a community, we were able to show our gratitude for injured service members and make a huge impact in the support they receive.
Thank you. I am so honored and so humbled by the success of this project.
I hope you are enjoying wearing your necklaces as much as I enjoyed making them for you! Now more than ever they symbolize an open heart and a generous spirit.
What a truly INCREDIBLE Holiday Season it’s been so far! Our project with the Bob Woodruff Foundation has been a bigger success than we could have ever imagined. I am humbled and so grateful for the overwhelming support we received from our Elephant Heart customers–so far we have raised over $6500 to donate to the Woodruff Foundation to continue their outstanding work with injured service members and their families. We at Elephant Heart feel truly blessed and inspired to have had the opportunity to work closely with everyone at BWF–what an amazing group of full-hearted and dedicated individuals!
I am still absorbing the impact of this project and will have many more reflections to come, but for now, I want to say THANK YOU, Merry Chirstmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a happy and healthy New Year to ALL!
With the Holiday Season officially in full swing, Elephant Heart is proud to be recognized for what we are giving rather than what we are receiving. Entertainment Weekly highlights the Elephant Heart Charm Necklace in the Charity section of their Holiday Gift Guide on newsstands now!
Thanksgiving is my most favorite Holiday of the year. We get to take a moment from our busy lives to spend time with family and friends and reflect on the many blessings we have as American citizens. My family has a tradition of going around the table before our meal and sharing a few words about what makes us most thankful. There is always a resounding echo of “I’m thankful for my family and for the health of my family.”
This holiday season we here at Elephant Heart decided to extend that sentiment of gratitude to the service members who have risked their health for the security of our country and who may not be able to sit around the Thanksgiving table with their families this year.
In conjunction with our ongoing project with the Bob Woodruff Foundation–where Elephant Heart is donating 50% of the proceeds from the sale of our Elephant Heart Charm Necklace to further the Woodruff Foundation’s support of injured service members and their families–we asked the students and teachers of 32nd Street School to help us extend our gratitude to those serving our country this holiday season.
Students and teachers alike took time from their busy days to write notes and make drawings on Elephant Heart Greeting Cards expressing their gratitude and warm wishes for all those injured while serving our country.
We packed up all the cards and delivered them to the Woodruff Foundation who will distribute the cards to injured service members in the hospital this Thanksgiving Day.
Please take a moment to look at some of the cards below.
Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving from the Elephant Heart Team!
