chavez for charity draft
Julie Marie Chavez is the founder and creative director of mariechavez and the chavez for charity line. The line was launched late in 2012 and raises money and awareness for many different charities, donating the proceeds depending on which color you purchase. Each bracelet is unique and features many different beads, stones, and charms.

In the first year that it was launched, chavez for charity donated a total of $165,000 to ten charities.

Each charity is represented by a different color of multiple hues. There are 10 different charities including Alex's Lemonade Stand, Water.org, V-day, Fisher House Foundation , Little Kids Rock , Dr. Susan Love Foundation , Whole Planet Foundation , Partners In Health , Mathew Shepard Foundation , and Best Friends Animal Society. Chavez for Charity donates 25% of gross proceeds to the charity that corresponds with the color.

The line can be found in over 100 Whole Food Stores in the United States.

For Julie Marie Chavez's efforts, she was honored at the January 2014 Pre-Grammy Party for the Whole Planet Foundation after launching her bracelet line.
