Salvage & Shine’s Continued Fundraising To Support People With I/DD
In the heartwarming intersection of creativity and community support, Salvage & Shine emerges as a small business with a big heart. Specializing in luxury wearable art that offers elegant, limited-edition pieces that are eco-consciously handmade, this business has dedicated itself to creating a positive impact by hosting multiple third-party fundraisers for In Flight, Inc.
The Personal Connection
At the core of Salvage and Shine’s philanthropic journey lies a deeply personal connection. Owned and operated by Alessandra Payne, she not only supports In Flight, but has a personal connection to our mission. Her cousin, David who lives in Canada uses similar services. A charismatic individual with developmental disabilities, David’s vibrant personality, and love for life are a testament to the incredible potential within the disabled community. Salvage & Shine’s commitment to supporting organizations like In Flight, is rooted in a desire to create spaces where individuals like David are not marginalized but celebrated for their uniqueness.
Creating Safe Spaces
The heartfelt statement from Salvage & Shine’s owner emphasizes the importance of safe spaces for individuals like David. In Flight provides a supportive environment where people with disabilities can feel seen, appreciated, and empowered. This dedication aligns perfectly with Alessandra’s commitment to contribute to the creation of inclusive communities.
Empowering Through Art
Salvage & Shine’s involvement in In Flight’s events, such as the Flower, Fair, & Flea, and Cornhole for a Cause showcases their commitment and support. The double-wrap necklace, a symbol of empowerment and unconditional love for the community, exemplifies the transformative power of art. Additionally, for two holiday seasons in a row, Salvage & Shine has sold ornaments with a similar meaning to the necklace. By participating in these events and generously contributing a portion of sales to In Flight, Salvage & Shine has become a beacon of support for our mission.
Salvage & Shine’s dedication to making a positive impact goes beyond creating beautiful wearable art. It represents a shining example of how small businesses can become powerful advocates for social change. Through their ongoing support for In Flight, Salvage & Shine not only helps raise crucial funds but also raises awareness. Together, they illuminate the path toward a more compassionate and understanding society.
