Three more fun and fantastic philanthropic events going on!
♥ OxenFree in Indiana is collecting socks for punks.
I’m the Resource Coordinator for a non-profit organization that works with homeless and indigent teenagers, as well as teens who are in bad home situations. OxenFree is a really fantastic program that engages at-risk teens through punk rock music, and provides support in a drug-free and alcohol-free environment.
The reason I’m invading blogs today? My job with OxenFree is to receive requests from the phenomenal people who run the program, and to figure out a way to fill them. My current assignment is…SOCKS. And I have to admit, I’m a bit at a loss. Socks are not a large-volume item at clothing centers (people usually just wear them out instead of donating them), and they’re surprisingly expensive. Homeless teenagers, especially hitchhikers, go through socks like you wouldn’t believe…
So, would you be willing to help me sock my punks? If so, thank you in advance! Thank you so much! Any donation is welcome (supplies only, please) at the following address:

If winning handbags from Kingdom of Style and Annie Spandex isn’t enough to inspire you, check out the Handbag Amnesty Auctions on EBay! There a dozens of gorgeous bags from generous stars like Scarlett Johannsen, American Ferrera, Julie Benz, and more!
♥ My Little Pony Project! To celebrate the 25th anniversary of My Little Pony, America’s pop culture artists and icons have redesigned the 80s prettiest pony. The ponies will be auctioned off in support of Give the Kids World Village. This non-profit organization strives to provide magical memories for children with life-threatening diseases.
Some of these ponies are the most amazing and beautiful pieces of art that I’ve ever seen!
