Welcome to DivaTribe

 

A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.

Indie for Awareness: Breast Cancer Awareness and Fundraising 2006 PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Indie for AwarenessFor over 20 years, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month has motivated people to come together in efforts to raise awareness. This year, a hip new group of designers has something to share: “Indie For Awareness”, a new annual campaign created to raise funds and awareness by 31 of the industries hottest up and coming designers.

Founded by Jennifer Thompson, creator of the online community DivaTribe, and Lilie Wells of A Planet 4 Creation, the endeavor brings some of the most creative talent to the forefront of this cause. The idea formed with Jennifer Thompson's creation of a dedicated page on her popular website last year that discussed all of the indie shops that were raising funds for the month of October. She hoped the article would generate interest in not only the designer’s work – but people hoping to support the cause as well.

“Because of the audience I can reach with DivaTribe, it made sense to me to try and highlight as many other small businesses as I could that were also raising money,” Thompson states. “This year, it is hitting home just how many people are affected by breast cancer, both directly and indirectly – I knew I wanted to do something again that would help continue to raise awareness.”

Co-founder Lilie Wells was also motivated by personal experiences with the disease. “My hope is that we can do something to stop or slow down this disease. It's becoming commonplace to mention Breast Cancer to someone and have him or her tell you that they know of someone who had it. It shouldn't be so commonplace.” Lilie created the concept to bring together some of the top indie designers in a variety of markets to help promote awareness.

While every designer is able to determine the size and type of donation being made, they are all dedicated to creating a unique campaign.  Please visit these shops and see what they have to offer.  All are dedicated to doing their part to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research.
