Just a few of the
charities included Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter, the Malawi Girls
School, Mizppah House, Connaught School, Battlefords Boys & Girls Club, and
the Big Brother program.
Below are just a few of
the inspiring stories we received from our Play Stylists about the Magic Beans
Giveaway Soiree’s that they were able to hold with their Hostesses.
Thank you for the Magic Beans Giveaway! I recently attended a Mile Zero Mercy Roller-Girls fundraiser for Mizpah House. Mizpah house is a local transition house for abused women and children. There was a speaker from the shelter at the fundraiser and she hit a chord with me. I thought, "I'd like to get involved with this organization". When the lovely ladies at Baked Cafe hosted a qualifying Soiree I had asked them their thoughts and they too are big supporters of Mizpah House! What a wonderful opportunity to bring a little comfort to women and children in desperate need! Often these women and their kids arrive with nothing but the clothes on their backs. I contacted Mizpah House and they have told me they are in need of clothing for girl’s ages 2-5 and boys 3-5 :)
My second Magic Beans
bundle is going to be donated to Malawi Girls School. Every year Arlene
Delawsky, a top local realtor and philanthropist, hosts a private party to
fundraise for the girls school in Africa. This school provides a safe place and
education to girls in Malawi. This year the principal and former student of the
school will be joining us for the event. Arlene is the hostess of a Peekaboo
Beans fashion show and in addition to the Magic Beans Giveaway, all the Hostess
Bean-e-fits are being donated to the school! As well, I will be donating a
portion of my commission to the school. Let the love flow!!! - Charlie Jordan

“My Hostess was
looking for a local charity to support and had come across the Battlefords Boys
& Girls Club online. She saw all of the amazing programs that
they offer to children in our community and knew instantly they would
benefit. The first line on their home page is "Another School
year is up and running! The Battlefords Boys & Girls Club is
OPEN and ready for kids to come play in our brand new
building!" How could we not support a charity that is so
aligned with Peekaboo Beans and children playing?!” - Jamie Killoran

“This is a back story for my Magic Beans. It's a recommendation
from one of my VIPB. Here is the msg she provided me:
The Magic Beans Soiree that I held was with a VIPB who knew the
perfect family to help out during a hard time. Below is the message she had
originally sent me:
“Hi Laura, as I mentioned, Leigh was one of the mom's that we
sponsored through the Christmas Fairies this past Christmas. She is a single
mom with 2 children. Jack, who is in Grade 1, and Leighla, who is 3 1/2.
She home schools Jack and is currently trying to figure out a source of
income because her soon to be ex husband will not be able to support the
family.
Leigh is one of the most beautiful people that I have ever met.
Her heart is just so generous, open and honest. We all got together
close to Christmas time and she brought
some food and a bottle of wine (probably with her last few dollars). As I
mentioned before, she is the type to give her last few dollars.
Both of her children are amazing. Jack is an incredible artist
and is very bright. Leighla is a little fireball full of energy but just
so sweet and loving like her mom.
I
was out with a girlfriend last night and we were both trying to figure out a
way to try and support Leigh during this time. When I saw your message, I
immediately thought of her and how deserving she is of some special treats for
her children. She would NEVER be able to afford PBB.” - Laura
