Giveaway: Threads - Closed.



Threads is a cause driven business that changes the future of at risk youth. They come from various backgrounds, but all have one thing in common, they want to break the cycle. By employing them, Threads instills the value of self reliance and hard work. They are paid fair wages for the bracelets they make, and in turn are able to pay their way through school. Many of Threads employees are first generation college students. They dream of becoming nurses, broadcasters, writers and engineers.

Your purchase will directly impact a student. Even beyond financial support, your belief in them is a symbol of hope and trust that they can achieve what for so long seemed impossible. By purchasing Threads you are wearing more than just a bracelet, you are wearing change.
They just launched their new fall line, and the bracelets are made after the kids who primarily make them. The more bracelets they sell, the more students they are able to employ. Right now they have a waiting list of kids who want to be a part of Threads, and currently have 10 employees. Each purchase comes with a thank you card from the student who made your bracelet.

Today, they are offering one of you the chance for a $50 store credit.
