The Junior League Partners with Joan Hornig Philanthropy is Beautiful®

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 19, 2011 – New York – The Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc., (AJLI) one of the largest, most effective women’s volunteer organizations in the world, today announced that it is partnering with Joan Hornig Philanrthopy is Beautiful® to involve AJLI’s more than 155,000 members in raising money to help fund AJLI’s member support programs, including training as civic leaders.

Joan Hornig Jewelry is unique among jewelry designers because all profits from each item sold are donated to a charity designated by the purchaser.  Junior League members can go to Joan Hornig’s website and designate AJLI as the beneficiary.  In addition to AJLI, other partnering organizations are as varied as AmericCares for disaster relief to Zero to Three, a national, nonprofit organization that informs, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers.

Susan Danish, AJLI’s Executive Director, said, “AJLI is delighted to partner with Joan Hornig on this important initiative.  Every dollar raised by member purchases directly supports the work the Association does in helping to prepare League members as civic leaders, achieving lasting community impact.”

“The longstanding tradition and effectiveness of AJLI in encouraging women to change their communities through a generous commitment of time and funds represents everything Joan Hornig Philanthropy is Beautiful® looks for in a partner. We are honored by this opportunity and look forward to helping make a difference with AJLI,” said Joan Hornig
