There are only five days left in which you can participate in Coach’s "Coach Cares" holiday philanthropic sales event. Coach, an American designer and maker of luxury lifestyle handbags and accessories, has joined forces with eleven celebrity fans’ favorite charity and organizations which will receive 20% of proceeds of the sale of selected Coach bags through their online store. Below is one of my favorite picks which highlights an organization I've supported for many years.
But please check out all eleven gorgeous bags and learn a little about each of the charities – you’ll likely gain a lot of knowledge and inspiration along with a fabulous accessory for the New Year. These are the celebrity fans supporting the following worthy causes: Mandy Moore (Peace Games), Ryan Reynolds (The Michael J. Fox Foundation), Jessica Alba (Youth Mentoring Connection), Elizabeth Banks (LA’s Best), Kerry Washington (V-Day), Evangeline Lilly (Free Press), Ali Larter (The Art of Elysium), Halle Berry (Jenesse Center), Eva Longoria (Eva’s Heroes), Rebeccas Romijn (spcaLA), and Rosario Dawson (Lower East Side Girls Club).
One of my favorites of the bags in the Coach Cares selection is the Leather Large Sabrina ($498) in cherry leather with brass hardware (also comes in 4 other colors). At over 13 x 8 inches, it will hold just about everything you need for an outing, especially if you’re like me and typically carry multiple snacks, toys and changes of clothes for my two kids at all times.
The charity benefiting from the sale of this bag is V-Day, which actress Kerry Washington highlights as follows: “V-Day dreams of a world where women thrive rather than merely survive. Through art and activism, V-Day shatters the silence and changes consciousness around violence against women and girls. Including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation and sex slavery. In ten years, V-Day has raised over $60 million- educating millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, reopening shelters, and funding over 5,000 community based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Iraq.” Kerry is also a member of the organizations V-Board.
Founded by playwright Eve Ensler 10 years ago, V-Day has become a formidable movement, launching grassroots campaigns and affecting positive legislation for the protection of girls and women around the world. This year more than 4000 V-Day benefit events - produced by local volunteer activists and performed in theaters, community centers, houses of worship, and college campuses – took place around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls and raising funds for local groups within their communities. I met Eve Ensler 8 years ago after she spoke at a women’s conference in San Francisco, and I still have a signed copy of her Vagina Monologues book. She inspired me and a dozen friends to gather and perform the monologues to celebrate her and V-Day’s incredible work. And I’m so pleased that I have the opportunity to honor and support V-Day’s work again today.
Through this Coach Cares promotion, I learned about a new-to-me nonprofit that I felt deserved its own feature in my next post. It also has a pretty gorgeous accessory which you may love for your hot New Year's Eve party. So check it out!
