In total, we have six new designs, both fitteds and dad hats. A launch party was also held to commemorate the achievement.
]]>We had the chance to do that in August by making our very own 1LoveIE backpacks. Along with our friends at IE Realtors, we were able to donate 50 backpacks to any student that dropped our Victoria Gardens location.
]]>However, it also was a different feeling in that VG's made everything feel so much more official. Thank you to everyone who attended. If you are in the area, feel free to stop by and see all the exclusive merchandise we have.
]]>The event was packed with a wonderful crowd and a whole lot of great energy. All we can really say is that if you were there, then you know. If you weren't, then we look forward to you stopping by.
]]>About 100 pairs of shoes and socks were donated to the boys and girls of Oak Grove's Independent Living Program, Thrive, on behalf of 1LoveIE. The donation was made during Thrive's Young Adult Holiday Party on December 18, held at the La Sierra University Gymnasium.
Oak Grove is a nonprofit educational and residential center which serves about 200 children and young adults. Thrive is a special program of the institution that pairs participants with a "Life Coach" and involves them in interactive workshops.
During the holiday party which was themed a "Winter Wonderland," Thrive members filled the gymnasium close to capacity and were treated to food, music, games and prizes.
The event started at 6 p.m. and many stayed until the end at 9 p.m., picking up their gift packages on the way out. The shoes came courtesy of our partners A Foundation For Kids while the socks were 1LoveIE's own.
Several 1LoveIE representatives also spent some time speaking to the young adults directly, giving them tips on life and their progression to college.
Many of the Thrive members had smiles on their faces as they received an early Christmas gift that may have otherwise not have come.
