Changing hearts
styling kids, helping people, protecting the planet
At cornflowerblue we are all about changing the hearts of people. We are committed to being very transparent about the money we raise for the cornflowerblue foundation and how it is spent.
How much have we raised and how have we spent it?
As at 26th November 2009 - $190 has been donated to the cornflowerblue foundation from the sale of our products. Our target is $2,700 by the end of March 2010. We still have a long way to go. While $190 might not sound like much it goes a long way in India!
