In It to Win It

World in Need Now Charity Launch

Last year you rescued purse-size pooches from PAWS and bought every shade of charity bracelet. (Too bad kitties and bangles are in this season.)

For your next charitable venture, look no further than World in Need Now, handbag designer Stephanie Jolluck’s new nonprofit that benefits the Latin American cultures that inspire her work.

Stop by the office and donate goods (school supplies, toys, clothes); Jolluck will deliver them on her fair trade buying trips to South America. Cash and in-kind corporate donations go to economy-boosting projects or are used by Jolluck’s longtime partner Care International.

Hit the launch party next Wednesday to find out more about planned projects and pressing needs. And bonus: They’ll also have capoeira dancers, a DJ, and margaritas.

So you can keep your stylish plans intact.

And your good intentions in fashion.

World in Need Now, 2278 Fairway Circle, Brookhaven (404-550-1737 or worldinneednow.org). Launch party, Wednesday, March 21 at Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery, 199 Armour Drive, Midtown (404-879-1500 or masonmurer.com). To purchase tickets, go to xorbia.com.
