exit343design donates: 2022 wrap-up!

It's that time of year again- donation time! ICYMI, exit343design has committed to donating 5% of ALL sticker sales to PAWS Philly! Full disclosure- I always donate to PAWS, but often I reallocate a bit of the fundraising pot to other animal-related organizations. Case in point:

In early December 2022, I stumbled upon this absolutely heartbreaking story about a local wildlife rescue and rehab facility burning TO THE GROUND. Red Creek Wildlife Center lost everything in their primary building including all of their patients. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was bawling when I watched this tribute video on their Facebook page. After learning more about wildlife rehabs in 2022 (mostly that they are not PA-state subsidized and run entirely on volunteers and donations) I had to donate to their rebuilding efforts:

Then, while vending at a show in December 2022, I was telling a customer about sticker donations. They said if we ever felt inclined, perhaps we'd want to donate to the cat rescue organization they work with- Green Street Rescue! Well, customer whose name I never got- exit343design did just that! PS- if you're in the Philly area, check out their awesome Le Cat Cafe to caffeinate and spend time with adoptable kitties!

And last, but certainly not least, the promised donation to our pals over at Philly PAWS:

That brings the 2nd half of the year donation total to: $890.23! Meaning in all of 2022, your sticker obsession (both retail AND wholesale) added up to $1,362 in total donations! WOW! The second half of 2022 alone beat the total donation amount for the entirety of 2021. Fantastic! Let's keep this sticker train rolling right into 2023 . . .

Since exit343design introduced stickers in 2018, we have committed to donating 5% of ALL sales (retail & wholesale!) to Philly PAWS and other local animal welfare organizations. Want to support the cause and grab a sticker? Check them out here!
