Le Thrift Consignment decided on using the Breakfast at Tiffany's theme because of the adoration of Audrey Hepburn and how she was such a big philanthropist before it was "trendy" to help others in Hollywood. Also, the "Tiffany blue" ties in with the theme of April and National Child Abuse Awareness Month.
The color blue represents a broken hearted Grandmother who in 1989 had found her Grandson beaten to death. She dedicated April as National Child Abuse month and tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her vehicle to make others aware of child abuse in her community. That created a movement across the nation and now others wear a blue ribbon in April in memory of children who had lost their lives to child abuse.
Since its inception over 100 years ago, One Hope United has had a mission to provide children safe and loving homes on a local scale. Whether it be community-based, family support systems, placement into foster care homes, therapeutic residential facilities or early learning and child development centers. This organization makes a difference in these children's lives. Some of the other actions that One Hope United does is find donors to fulfill children's wishes for gifts every Christmas or supply them with backpacks filled with school supplies for back to school. If you are interested in finding out more on how to get involved, visit their site at www.goblueforohu.org.
A percentage of sales from the Breakfast at Tiffany's event will be donated to One Hope United. Stop by to have a complimentary manicure and Mimosas, plus much more! No RSVP is necessary.
