To celebrate its 12th anniversary, Wee Chic children’s boutique in Green Spring Station wanted to do something festive and special that would also benefit the community.
From May 10-15, Wee Chic — in honor of May being “Trauma Awareness Month” — will raise money and awareness to support the work of LifeBridge Health’s Center for Hope. Each in-store donation to the center will be recognized by adding a paper butterfly to a growing art display that decorates the storefront. The installation serves as a reminder of the resilience of childhood trauma survivors .
The donation of a butterfly supports the Center for Hope, the nation’s first comprehensive violence intervention and prevention center affiliated with a large regional health care system, which will be headquartered at Sinai Hospital.
Wee Chic will match 100% of the donations throughout the month.
In addition, Wee Chic and its owner, Bridget Quinn Stickline, will host other shopping incentives next week, including birthday discounts from 25-60% off. Pascale the Baking Diva will close out the week’s festivities on Saturday, May 15, by selling custom bakery treats at Wee Chic, including cupcake-decorating kits and a mini-tiered birthday cake.
“We’ve always been community-minded as a business,” Stickline told Jmore last year after participating in a benefit initiative for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Maryland. “Now, I think it’s more important than ever to support these groups and to create hope.”
Wee Chic is located at Green Spring Station, 2360 West. Joppa Rd., #115, in Lutherville. For information, call 410-878-7400 or visit weechic.com.
