The sky is the limit for what Chicago Fair Trade can achieve with your support!
– Maranda Leigh
Fair Trade practices encompass what all businesses should aspire to: dignity & safety for all workers, wages that support a full & healthy life for employees & their families, respect & care for the natural environment, and just overall consciousness about the impact business operations have on a community. If you, like me, believe in a future where all businesses are expected to (at minimum) support and respect their employees, their communities, and their planet; then I hope you will join me in supporting Chicago Fair Trade today. Chicago Fair Trade is working to make this future a reality, focusing on local Chicago businesses, organizations, and communities that share this same vision.
As chair of the board and co-chair of CFT’s ethical fashion community, the Conscious Closet Club, I have had a front row seat to the impact this organization has on our local and global communities. In just this past year, we were able to hire a second full-time employee; we hosted a clothing swap that drew over 500 attendees and kept hundreds of pounds of clothing out of landfills; and we opened the world’s first Fair Trade Museum! With the support of our generous donors, we will be dreaming even bigger in the coming year.
I am kicking off my fundraiser by making a personal contribution of $200.
If you are able to support Chicago Fair Trade with a financial gift, please know that no amount is too small!
If you are unable to donate today, please help spread the word about this fundraiser and Chicago Fair Trade’s mission.
Help me raise money!
My personal goal is $2,000.00
Donate to our Flash Fundraiser page and make sure to choose my name for your donation inspiration!
