Whole Planet Fundraising Success – Whole Body & Grocery Sample Sale

We’re still reeling from the success of last week’s Sample Sale where we raised $5,144 for the Whole Planet Foundation. Thanks so much to N’ice Cream, who donated all their proceeds. Thanks to everyone who shopped with gusto! Especially to those of you who shopped repeatedly throughout the day – you know who you are. Special appreciations to Debbie Hounanian (and her sons!), Claudine (and her husband and daughters!), Risa, Kim Anthony, Marrissa, April, Kimberly Albright, Hilary and the guys for helping with the heavy lifting: Fidel, Vitaliy, Arno, Tim and Dewey!
