DESIGN 21

Our commitment to improving life through social design has been with us since the beginning. This is who we are and why we’re here.

  • It’s one foot in front of… 1000 others

    Many times individual social outreach is spurred by a personal connection. Some connections hit closer to home than others and push us to give so much of ourselves in return. That’s why we’re proud to feature Jordan Carlson’s “720 Mission to Cure Breast Cancer” this month. Jordan began walking to raise money for the cause at just five years old when her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time. She’s now on a new mission this summer to raise $1 million in the fight for a cure. The number 720? That’s what you get when you take the 12 cities that breast cancer awareness walks are taking place in this summer, and multiply it by 60 miles per walk. 720 miles. If you divide 720 miles by a teenager’s summer vacation, you end up with one dedicated kid.

    That sort of dedication should be celebrated and actively supported. That’s why when you purchase the Allumonde Ring, you can select Jordan’s mission from our Non-Profit Network to help this remarkable young woman achieve her goal. Allumonde Ring proceeds, along with funds raised in her upcoming 12-city tour and cross-country walk, will benefit Susan G. Komen For The Cure. Her miles are a celebration of survival.
