“VAUGHAN, ON – February 26, 2010 – The Trendy Group and Trollbeads are pleased to
announce the release of the Haiti Empowerment bead collection, Beads of Hope. This
exclusive line of beads underscores Trollbeads’ commitment to charitable causes.
The initial offering of colourful, glass Haiti Empowerment beads will be released in early
March 2010. The Trendy Group, in partnership with Trollbeads Denmark, our retailers
and sales representatives, will donate $20 from every Haiti Empowerment bead purchase
to Habitat for Humanity Canada to support their Haiti relief efforts. Habitat for Humanity
Canada’s goal is to provide housing solutions to 50,000 low-income Haitian families over
the next five years.
In order to include all consumers in this worthy cause, Trollbeads has designed and
manufactured Empowerment beads to fit Trollbeads bracelets as well as similar beaded
bracelets. It is our hope that the beads’ message of love and support will strengthen all
those affected by this disaster.”

The Breast Cancer Empowerment beads were such a great success, Trollbeads Canada raised over $13,000 that went straight to the Canadian Cancer Society. Because of that success, the idea has been transformed to help more people in need. Trollbeads has announced the release of Empowerment Beads for Haiti.

In light of January’s devastating earthquake in Haiti , Trollbeads is proud to offer a new set of Empowerment beads. Half of all proceeds from the sale of these beads will go to Habitat for Humanity Canada to aid in stabilizing and rebuilding Haiti ‘s infrastructure. Habitat for Humanity Canada has been working in Haiti for 26 years and is helping Haitians rebuild their homes and reclaim hope.

There are 10 exclusive, limited edition beads that have been designed to work with Trollbeads and other beaded bracelets.

I have not seen these beads yet, but it looks as though there are more than 10 different designs! How exciting! I believe I should have them in stock by Wednesday March 3rd. Do not wait to come in to Cartwright Jewelers to check these out, the breast cancer beads did not last a week.
