And if any year needed a boost it’s 2020!
This Holiday Season Mane Stream was truly overjoyed with the outpouring of kindness. Not all the proceeds are in yet but as of now we expect just over $3,100 to be donated to Mane Stream by these amazing businesses and people: Le Fash Lifestyle Boutique of Oldwick, Jessica Sanders Photography, Wicked Chocolate Bombs Fundraiser, Silliy.girlzz, and OneHope Wine.
About these amazing donors:
You have probably heard of the SILLY.GIRLZZ who have been selling bracelets since the pandemic began. In preparation for the fall and the holiday season, they updated their summer collection with new color schemes and a horseshoe tag. Recent sales and a holiday shopping event at Dover Saddlery ensured they could drop off another check of $900. Increasing their total to almost $4K for the year!!
Then there’s LE FASH the brand new Lifestyle Boutique across the street from the Tewksbury Inn. Store owner, Arianna Vastino set aside the first weekend in December as a Holiday Shopping Kick-Off fundraiser for Mane Stream. She graciously organized for a portion of ALL online or in-store sales to benefit Mane Stream bringing in over $1,200! We are delighted to welcome Arianna to the neighborhood and we count ourselves so lucky to have this partnership. We also look forward to working together in the future.
Next up…Jessica Sanders Photography who just so happens to be one of our generous volunteer photographers, helping to capture all the smiles and special moments at Mane Stream. This fall Jessica scheduled Limited Edition Holiday Portrait sessions for Horses and Dogs (The pics are so cute!). $50 of each session and a portion of all sales of prints/art/notecards/etc. will be coming to Mane Stream. While orders are still coming in, we are excitedly waiting to hear the final total! Thank you Jessica!!
These shiny orbs were all the rage right this holiday season and with good reason! Local baker Juls Palmer created a Hot Cocoa Bomb Fundraiser for 4 local charities and Mane Stream was lucky enough to be on the list and recently received $600!! SOLD OUT in a flash, the extremely creative Juls sold a multitude of flavors, cute designs, and a variety of packaging styles and sizes to fit everyone on your list.
And wrapping up the season is a tasty wine fundraiser from OneHope Wines organized by Nicole, a therapy client’s mom who just wanted us to know, "You have done such amazing work with Carmine and we all know how much he loves Mane Stream!" Since the deadline for this fundraiser extended beyond press time we can’t give you a final total but seriously it’s 2020 and every dollar counts!!
So while we are glad to see the end of 2020 we are extremely overwhelmed by the kindness of each and every donor this year. Here’s to a better 2021!
