suppor ts Special Olympics
Join Us Here
In This Issue
ALEX AND ANI, a made in America lifestyle brand and producer of
jewelry, and Special Olympics have partnered together through their
CHARITY BY DESIGN division to create a bangle. The "Power of Unity"
bangle is sold in ALEX AND ANI retail stores nationwide, online at
alexandani.com, and at partnering retail accounts. Find a store near you
here: http://www.alexandani.com/locations.
The bangle design features the Special Olympics symbol which is an
expression of how the Special Olympics movement reveals the champion in
all of us, inspiring achievement, change, revelation and community in all
who connect with Special Olympics. On the other side of the charm, the
Special Olympics Athlete Oath appears, "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let
me be brave in the attempt." ALEX AND ANI will donate to Special
Olympics 20% of the purchase price from each Power of Unity Charm.
Have a great weekend!
