Annaleece Gives Back

Annaleece has always felt strongly about giving back to those in need. In 2006 the company donated over $10,000.00 in Swarovski crystal jewelry, figurines, and cash contributions. This past 2007, Annaleece more than tripled that figure, donating over 30,000 in charitable contributions!

The company has been offering Breast Cancer Awareness and Support Our Troops pins since January 1, 2006, in which $1.00 of every item sold is donated to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation or the USO (United Service Organization). These pink and yellow ribbon pins are beautifully designed in Rhodium accented with Swarovski crystals; an elegant version of the traditional remembrance and support ribbons. Since Annaleece has been selling their Breast Cancer Awareness and Support Our Troops pins over $3,000 has been donated to support breast cancer awareness/research and to help the USO provide services to our men and women in uniform!

Annaleece also contributes to a variety of other groups and non-profit organizations. Donated products have been especially successful for groups that raffle, auctions, and/or sell them to raise money. Just a few such groups and organizations include (but are not limited to):

• Non-Profit Organizations
  • Lions, Tigers & Bears – A rescue facility in Alpine, CA that offers a safe haven for unwanted and abused exotic cats.
  • STAR/PAL (Sports Training, Academics & Recreation – Police Athletic League) – Group in San Diego, CA that hosts an annual fundraising luncheon with celebrity waiters working for tips to be donated to support area youth.
  • St. Vincent De Paul Center – Serves the needs of San Diego, CA providing programs and services in the areas of child care, social services, outreach to the homeless and services for the elderly.
  • TEACH Foundation – An organization in Lakeside CA dedicated to encouraging therapeutic horseback riding for children with special needs.
• Schools
  • New Lutheran High School – Green Bay, WI
  • Lincoln Choice Elementary School – Oronoco, MN

Annaleece is always willing to help out with donation requests locally and nationwide for a multitude of causes. This year it is the company’s plan to continue their effort to support worthy causes and charities and hopefully exceed 2007’s donation totals.
