It all starts with a little change. Help us raise $75,000 for the Charleston Basket Brigade!

We’re involved with a lot of amazing, wonderful causes and nonprofit organizations here in the Charleston area, and we’re excited that our own Momentum Founder Pam Hartley’s charity, the Charleston Basket Brigade, is gearing up for its fourth year of giving back!

The 4th annual Charleston Basket Brigade will take place on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 at the North Charleston Coliseum (Exhibit Hall C) beginning at 7 a.m. This year, the Basket Brigade is partnering with Carolina One Real Estate, Piggly Wiggly, Communities In Schools and us, Momentum Marketing, to feed 2,500 families (an estimated 15,000 people) on Thanksgiving Day by raising $75,000 through the efforts of hundreds of local volunteers and concerned citizens. In the past three years, the Charleston Basket Brigade has raised a total of $63,990 and fed more than 12,000 local residents in need. Just imagine what we can accomplish this year!

It takes only $30 to feed a family of 4-6 at Thanksgiving, and every single penny that is donated to the Basket Brigade goes toward buying food. You can donate online, or visit a participating Change for Change retailer in the Charleston area to donate at a Change for Change box! These participating locations are:

• Wonder Works (West Ashley and Mt. Pleasant)
• Charleston Children’s Boutique
• Towne Centre Tobacco and Wine
• Charlestowne Tobacco and Wine
• Towne Centre Spirits and Wine
• Coastal Firearms
• Butterfly Consignment Boutiques (Downtown & Mt. Pleasant)
• Victoria’s Consignments
• Salon Riviera
