Annaleece Continues to Support Charities

Annaleece has always felt strongly about giving back to those in need. In a continued effort to support worthy causes and charities, from January 2006 to date the company has donated almost $20,000.00 in Swarovski crystal jewelry, figurines, and cash contributions!

Additionally, 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 and feature Swarovski crystals. The pins are 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 $2500 has been donated to support breast cancer awareness/research and to help the USO provide services to our men and women in uniform!

The company 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. Such groups and organizations include (but are not limited to):

Non-Profit Organizations:

• Lions, Tigers & Bears – A rescue facility that offers a safe haven for unwanted and abused exotic cats.
• STAR/PAL (Sports Training, Academics & Recreation – Police Athletic League) – Hosts an annual fundraising luncheon with celebrity waiters all working for tips that are donated to support San Diego youth.
• The Anna Purna Ghosh Foundation – An organization that provides costly prescription medications to cancer and blood disease patients.

Business Organizations:

• BBB (Better Business Bureau)
• Schools
• Christian Unified Schools of San Diego
• Mayo High School Choir
• Fredon Parent Teacher Club

Annaleece is always willing to help out with donation requests locally and nationwide for a multitude of causes. This year (as of May 2007), over $8,000 has been donated with expectations to surpass last year’s year end totals.
