Chesapeake Ribbons' Outreach

Chesapeake Ribbons donates barrettes and stretchy headbands to Wigs 4 Kids and The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center; as well as donates Autism products (key FOBS & barrettes) to Devereux C.A.R.E.S. School. I invite you to read more…

Devereux C.A.R.E.S School
Devereux CARES (Childhood Autism Research and Education Services) is an approved private school, for children who have been diagnosed with Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, located in Downingtown, PA.
As a former Primary Instructional Coordinator at Devereux CARES, I feel that it is only appropriate to donate Chesapeake Ribbons’ Autism products to CARES throughout the year. By donating my products to the school, they are able to sell these unique gifts at their Annual PTO Fundraiser, booth at the Philadelphia Walk Now Event, and other various fundraisers throughout the year.

Wigs 4 Kids will be giving our donation to new children
when they get their wigs, and as part of their gift bags at the annual ‘Wigs 4 Kids’ Gala. “Wigs 4 Kids main focus is on cancer patients and includes other young people with similar appearance related challenges that cause hair loss such as:, alopecia, trichotillomania, lupus, hydrocephalus,
burns and other disorders”

The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center will be using Chesapeake Ribbons’ products for a different purpose: “The most signficant benefit of these items is that children, from infants to teenagers, have a hard time maintaining their normal level of self-care and grooming while here in the hospital. A headband or a barrette that can keep their hair off of their faces, especially if they have not been able to bathe, will be such an asset! The fact that the accessories are so attractive is a great bonus!”

Autism Speaks
“Autism Speaks is dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We are committed to raising the funds necessary to support these goals.” Chesapeake Ribbons donates 25% of each sale to this important organization.

Susan G. Komen Fund
“Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.
In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.” Chesapeake Ribbons donates 25% of each sale to this wonderful fund, close to our heart!
