Press Samples for the The Charity Box
September & October 2021 | Tea Party & Steampunk
Happy Sunday! It’s been quite a week so this got a little delayed. Most photos and everything were done in time, but the Pfizer booster shot took me out for a day, then my son got a cold and… the feeling just never changes when your child is sick. I will always be the worrywart mother. He’s on the mend though and I finished up the final touches to bring you 24 of the offerings for The Charity Box September & October 2021 which have themes of Tea Party (September) & Steampunk (October)
September’s Charity Box release was delayed and we’re having a double feature this month! There will be 2 charities benefitting. All Tea Party (September) purchases will benefit American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and all Steampunk (October) purchases will benefit Angel Flight.
If you would like, you can also go to the listings in the shop and donate to each charity separately as well.
Angel Flight Soars arranges free air transportation for people who need to travel to receive lifesaving medical treatment, but lack the means. We believe illness isn’t stopped by boundaries and cures shouldn’t be either – whether the boundaries are geographic or monetary. We help families focus on getting better instead of worrying about how to get there. That’s why we coordinate 9 missions a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Visit Angel Flight Soars for more information.
Established in 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death. AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies: Funding Scientific Research, Educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention, advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention, and supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide. Visit The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for more information.
From each respective category of the shop (Tea Party and Steampunk) The Charity Box will donated $1 from every bottle/item sold to each foundation.
Let’s take a look at what I was sent. For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, and for the glossy photos I did use a combination of the top coats including Vibrant Vinyls which was sent as PR this month, and Night Owl Lacquer’s Patience Not Required. I purchased the Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues and the top coat was sent as pr or as gifts.
