The Card Me National Summer Drive has officially begun! With two parties down and eighteen more to go, we are beyond excited about all the support and love we’ve already been receiving. We kicked of the tour at Lancaster, PA (pronounced LANK-ister for those not from the Dutch country) and my goodness did we have some fun! Held at a local coffee shop, the party began with some great tunes from Liz Goodgame, followed by a great time with the wonderful people of Hope International. Hope is a non-profit organization focused on alleviating physical and spiritual poverty through microenterprise development and is actively working in over a dozen countries around the world. We were so excited to continue our partnership with Hope and aiding them in the wonderful work they are doing with microfinance across the globe.

After our stay in ol’Lancaster, we drove on down to the lovely city of Charlotte, NC – and my, is it gorgeous! A big thanks to our hosts, Jason and Donna Yarborough, and everyone who came out last night to support the Free Store, a local clothing collective that strives to connect people from all walks of life in order to meet one another’s needs. This morning we were able to tour the Free Store and Area 15, a community of creatives sharing studio space with other artists, professionals, and non-profits, and were amazed by all the great things happening in a warehouse in Charlotte! It’s only day three of our tour, and already we are overwhelmed by all the beautiful people we’ve met who are each changing the world in their own little way! Can’t wait to support even more wonderful initiatives throughout the tour.
