Beauty Night Stocking Stuffing 2008
December 18, 2008 By 3 Comments
Beauty Night volunteers spent their snowy Sunday stuffing Christmas stockings. As Christmas songs played in the background, volunteers filled the stockings full of dental care, hair care, skin care, and body care products. Stocking stuffers included socks, gloves and cosmetic goodies. 500 Christmas stockings will be handed out to Beauty Night clients this holiday season.

Hundreds of volunteers and donors made this event special. From Nancy Black designing the stockings to Blair Lockhart, Beauty Night’s stocking coordinator organizing the volunteers to sew the stockings, to Revel Kunz, our product donations coordinator. Students from York House School, Henry Hudson School, and the Rangers pitched in to make the stockings. The Rangers filled the first 136 stockings on December 6th. Sharon Hong, Sarah Traynor, Revel Kunz, and Cami all took the time to sew the stockings.

“I really believe that you can have fun and make a difference in someone’s life,” says Beauty Night founder, Caroline MacGillivray. Glancing down at the large box of 15% off certificates, MacGillivray smiles. “Who would have thought you could combine shopping and fundraising?” she asks.
Obviously, the Bay had. This popular fundraiser has charities across the country selling the 15% off coupons for $5. The proceeds raised from the coupon sales goes directly to the charity. Volunteers from different charities will be selling the certificates to friends, families and supporters. “It is win/win all the way,” says MacGillivray, “The charity raises funds while the coupon purchasers save on in store purchases.”
To purchase the $5 coupons, please email Caroline at carolinem@beautynight.org.
