Activism
The current grand total of funds sent to local not‑for‑profits is $16,863.
In 2020—amid the pandemic, global protests against systemic racism, and ongoing attacks on LGBTQ rights—“business as usual” felt tone-deaf. I wasn’t sure how, or even whether, to open for the season. Then I landed on an idea that felt like it could actually help: small acts of economic activism.
Here’s the deal… from now on and instead of the discounts people have come to expect as normal/sport, 10% of every retail sale will go to a local nonprofit.
No haggling, no bundled deals—just a chance to direct part of your purchase to a cause that matters. It’s not my money; it’s yours. Now it can go where it’s needed and everybody wins.
