3 Girls. 3 Wishes.

header

At Dogeared, a large part of our corporate culture is shaped by supporting our community and giving back – through volunteering, partnerships and financial support. For the past two years, Dogeared has enjoyed an incredible partnership with Step Up, a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to inspiring girls to fulfill their potential. Step Up offers after-school and weekend programs to empower teen girls from under-resourced communities to be confident, college-bound and career-ready. Many of these teens face challenging life circumstances and Step Up ensures that they stay in school, helping guide their futures to break the cycle of poverty frequently helping them be the first in their family to attend college. Step Up recruits an extensive network of professional women to invest in the future success of these girls through mentorship and financial support. Step Up projects that for a fifth straight school year, 100% of seniors will graduate high school and be accepted to college!

Help Dogeared support 3 of these amazing young women from Step Up as they prepare to take their next big step: college! $7 from each NEW Three Wishes purchase goes directly into scholarship funds through Step Up to support a beautiful cause: providing essential scholarships to these deserving young women determined to make their dreams come true. We sat down with the bubbling young ladies to chat life, school, the future and of course, Step Up. Meet Elizabeth, Mydrea & Wendy!

Spotted a couple of months back, our bestselling Karma necklace graced the cover of Tatler magazine on the gorgeous Gabriella Wilde. Perhaps best known as the sister of Prince Harry’s off-again girlfriend (Cressida), Wilde does not take a backseat to the royal spotlight. This mother, actress, and model shines in the UK mag, giving some fierce London street cred to the Karma necklace.

Dogeared was so honored to once again be a sponsor at the 11th Annual Inspiration Awards hosted by Step Up Women’s Network. The day brought together a room of nearly 900 amazing women to celebrate inspiring young girls who have worked so hard to overcome, grow and step into a new chapter in their life. Their stories are heartfelt, their obstacles and challenges monumental and their success inspiring. These young women provide so much to all of us who have had the honor to see them grow and to share in their journey. Dogeared is so grateful to partner with Step Up and help foster their vision… inspiring women to inspire girls.

It was exciting to see so many noteworthy attendees dripping in Dogeared walking the red carpet on Friday!
