Alex's Lemonade Stand-THIS SATURDAY

Did you know September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month? Childhood Cancer remains the number one disease killer of children under the age of 15 in the United States. Over 12,000 children are diagnosed with cancer every year in the United States alone. Of those diagnosed, an estimated 2,500 children will not survive, that is one child in the US dying from cancer every 3.5 hours. 36 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every day in the United States, that is one new diagnosis every 40 minutes.

We will have an Alex's Lemonade Stand at our store, this Saturday, September 26th from 11am to 4 pm. Everyone who donates to the lemonade stand will receive a 20% off coupon to the store. At the end of the day we will donate 10% of our proceeds to the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. It's a great day to do some shopping, quench your thirst and help other children all at the same time.

Threads of Hope

Check out these adorable dresses we just got in! You may be surprised to find out that these are not the latest designer duds fresh off the kiddie clothes runways. These clothes were not made in a factory, and there is no designer name sewn into the garment. These dresses were actually made in Ecuador by someone in economic need, perhaps a widow, or an orphan, or a fellow mom trying to provide for her children. These dresses were provided to Nurture through a nonprofit organization called Threads of Hope.  Threads of Hope is a mission that provides sewing machines and garment construction skills to economically challenged individuals in poor countries. Through Threads of Hope, these individuals are able to achieve an improved standard of living, work at home opportunities, practical skills, English language development, and improved self-esteem.

The dresses range from $60-$120, and 90% of the proceeds go to the Threads of Hope organization. Why not buy one of these adorable dresses for a special little girl in your life? Your purchase may help another woman or little girl live a better life.
