Pink Koala Design Gives Back

Local designer gives back to her community’s women and children in need
 
April 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Callaway, Maryland-April 28, 2011-The baby-friendly products of Pink Koala Design® have been highlighted in celebrity gift baskets, Hollywood gifting suites and featured on popular blogs like Tots Trends Weekly and Celebrity Baby Scoop. Now the local women and children in need in the Southern Maryland community will receive the same great products with the help of Pink Koala Design and their Life After Joey Project.

The Life After Joey Project intends to take back customers’ gently used baby items that have "outgrown" their purpose and re-purpose them for local women and children in need. Every time a customer returns an "outgrown" item, Pink Koala Design will give them a $10 coupon to use on their next order.  

The concept was generated in April 2011, after Katrina Griffis, owner of Pink Koala Design, volunteered at a local charity consignment event. “I was helping pack everything up and it hit me that I would hate to think about someone just tossing one of our products. We work so hard to design and manufacture them and they really are precious to us. What can I do?” said Griffis, “Then I thought I can ask my customers to send the products back so that I can repurpose them for women and children in need. There are many great organizations in our community so felt it was a great idea. Pink Koala Design customers will be helping to give back to the global community and get something in return”.

“I’m very excited to see what this project will mean to women and children in need in St. Mary's County. I’ve donated our products to quite a few organizations and it is always very fulfilling. I hope that my customers can experience the same feeling and get a little something back from us.”
