Brighton Fights Hunger at Home

If you are receiving this email, in all likelihood you have been in our store.  You know we are all about Brighton products and having a little fun along the way.  Fun is fun but hunger in our country is not fun.  As many as 1 in 10 Americans go hungry everyday. Through their American Heroes Collection Brighton – and you – can help those in need. In keeping with Brighton’s tradition of offering something that is more than a collection of beautiful pieces of jewelry, They have introduced a limited edition collection of American Heroes jewelry as a way of giving our customers the opportunity to support the heroes among us who are feeding the people who suffer from hunger in our very own communities.

For each piece of jewelry sold, Brighton will donate to not-for-profit charities which will be selected from local organizations throughout the U.S. These organizations must be led by one or more American Heroes who are dedicated to feeding people in need. The heroes are to be nominated by customers who purchase this jewelry. Organizations will be chosen by September 30th, 2009 and they each will receive a portion of Brighton’s charitable contribution of $7.50 for each necklace, $5 for each bracelet and $2.50 for each pair of earrings sold in this promotion.  How can we not help?
