Today we are proud to partner with Threads to bring you a beautiful giveaway! 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, they can instill values of self reliance and hard work in their lives. The students 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.
Every purchase directly impacts 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. 
Ashley, the creator of Threads, wrote a blog post today about each of the students involved; you can learn more about them here.
One lucky reader is going to receive a $100 gift card to the Threads shop. To enter simply visit the shop and choose your favorite item, then leave us a comment stating your favorite. One entry per reader, please. Giveaway will be open until July 10th. Winner announced in this article shortly after.
Congrats Alicia, you are the winner! Contact us to claim your prize: emma AT redvelvetart DOT com
