The Pink Chalet







ORLANDO, FLORIDA - I have known Debbie for years, and when I heard she had opened her own store and that it was perfect, I wasn’t surprised. What did surprise me is that she was willing to hold a party to raise funds for breast cancer research when she was just weeks away from having her first baby! And, God bless her. It was also the very first event held in the new store. The crowd was fun, the treats were great and it was a wonderful event – in spite of those afternoon Orlando showers. Thank you, Debbie, and the whole team. It was great to meet such interesting and diverse people that all share the same goals in eradicating breast cancer. If you find yourself in Orlando, gentle readers, get yourself to the Pink Chalet!

All Hail the Chiefs





SYRACUSE, NEW YORK - So when I arrived at the ballpark in Syracuse, I was told that the only way to tell it was springtime in this part of New York was to notice that people weren’t wearing gloves and scarves. But take a look at these boys – they went out there and played their hearts out in spite of the cold! My friend Wendy is the one who coordinated the whole event. There was an auction on the concourse and then a dinner with players afterwards. The response was fantastic, and I am really looking forward to coming back and seeing them again. The Syracuse Chiefs have pledged to make the Vera Bradley Foundation a part of several more upcoming events and I can’t wait. I love that Wendy and her team has embraced the cause this way, I feel the same way about them. Go Chiefs!
