Family-Owned New Orleans French Quarter Jewelry Shop Steps Up to Give Back
Wellington & Company Fine Jewelry is pleased to announce charitable gift donations of more than $13,000 this April to local New Orleans non-profit and educational organizations.
- New Orleans, LA (1888PressRelease) March 23, 2011 - Spring is for giving. This is the position that Wellington & Company, a locally-owned fine jewelry boutique in the French Quarter, has taken this season. The small business has committed substantial gifts, totaling more than $13,000, to three upcoming high-profile fundraising events in April.
Charitable giving is central to the store's mission of creating a community of sincerity and generosity.
"We have so many wonderful non-profits in town," says Brandy Baechle Whisnant, the Vice President and Co-Owner of Wellington, "and in this challenged economy, so many organizations are suffering because donors are cutting back. It's so important to us to make up the difference and fill the gap."
Brandy is no stranger to charitable giving. An avid volunteer and member of numerous philanthropic boards, Brandy is the President-Elect of the Junior League of New Orleans as well as a longtime board member of STAIR (Start the Adventure in Reading). She has spearheaded all of the store's philanthropic efforts and represents the company in community endeavors.
