Toast To A Cause

As one of the most recognizable cause brands in the United States, ONEHOPE Wine has grown dramatically over the past three years due to a respected presence in several charitable fields. I chatted with COO and Founder, Blake Petty, at the NRA show in Chicago this past May and was exceptionally impressed by the ONEHOPE story.

ONEHOPE donates 50% of profits...no, that's not a typo...a full 50% back to autism, breast cancer, AIDS, our troops, children's hospitals, and our planet.

The eight founders started the company by selling wine out of the back of their car trunks. Since the inception of the company in June 2007 they have sold over 20,000 cases. Take your pick from cabernet, merlot, pinot, zin, rose, chardonnay, or sauvignon blanc and toast to a good cause. Visit the ONEHOPE site to order or for more information:  http://www.onehopewine.com

Matters Of The Heart

Designed from the heart and marketed by community-minded stylists like Melissa Reedy in South Florida, Jewel Kade jewelry is quickly gaining popularity across the country. Jewel Kade founder Janet Kinkade has selected the American Heart Association as a charity of choice since cardiovascular disease is the cause of nearly 37 percent of all female deaths in America. Combining cause with timeless fashion, JK has created this American Heart Association “Listen to Your Heart” charm which reminds us that it’s the things (and health) of the heart that make life truly meaningful. A great gift for birthdays or special occasions, JK donates $1 from the sale of every charm directly to the American Heart Association. To order your own "Listen to Your Heart" charm and browse Jewel Kade's entire line of handcrafted charms, visit Melissa Reedy's Jewel Kade site at https://www.jewelkade.com/melissareedy

Time For Turtles

Luxury cosmetic brand Chantecaille has created a special edition all-in-one face palette that contains flattering shades made with the finest pearlescent particles. Three eye colors and a cheek color are delicately embossed with perfect prints of sea turtles. 5% of the proceeds from each purchase are contributed to the WIDECAST Organization, which helps save sea turtles in North, South and Central America and the Caribbean.

Wine With Wings

Do you shudder at the thought of Sutter? Think Two-Buck Chuck is a heap of bad luck? With you on that...which is why I'm exceedingly grateful that my new friends at http://www.womensforum.com/ gave me the tip on Cellar Angels. Who are these big-hearted oenophiles and what's the company mission? It's simple, "connect small and family run wineries to a larger audience, expose wine lovers to incredible purchase opportunities offered exclusively to Cellar Angels members from partnering vineyards, and provide assistance to a select group of charities."

If you're looking for big name labels and always have to be sipping on the "wine of the moment," don't even bother. You won't find them here. These are gorgeous individually selected artisan Napa offerings that won't be spotted on any grocery store shelf. Request a personal invite at:  https://cellarangels.com/ and pass one on to the most sophisticated sippers you know. Proceeds from your purchase go to one of the Cellar Angels featured charities of your choosing:  The V Foundation for Cancer Research, The Napa Valley Vintners, American Society Preventing Cruelty to Animals, Children's Cardiology Foundation, Ounce of Prevention Fund, or the By the Hand Club for Kids.

Think Pink

And stay warm with a cashmere hooded sweater from the Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Collection. The Polo Ralph Lauren Womens Pink Pony Cashmere Sweater is just one of the great pieces in a specially designed clothing collection that provides proceeds to a worldwide initiative in the fight against cancer. Originally sold for close to $550, snatch up this winter wardrobe staple at a savings of 30%. A percentage of sales from all Pink Pony products supports programs for screening, early diagnosis, treatment and research, and brings patient navigation to medically underserved communities.

If you know anything about Ralph Lauren, you know that this is just one of seven philanthropic initiatives that the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation is involved in. To learn more about the Pink Pony Fund and Campaign visit http://tinyurl.com/4p6sv8q
