“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.”
