Welcome to Crafting4aCause!
 

We are a small company interested in creating and implementing inclusive programs in our community with an emphasis on youth-related team building, empowerment and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) programs.


Crafting4aCause originated with the sale of our custom designed MyIntent pieces. It quickly expanded to include a wide variety of empowerment and awareness jewelry and other craft items through our efforts to raise funds for the Rare Disease community.

 

I am an active advocate with a variety of Rare Disease groups. Through participation in a variety of programs, I discovered the need for more empowerment and Mindfulness programs through the lens of those battling or caring for people with chronic illnesses. This led to the expansion, creation and offer of Mindfulness and Team building programs. We have and are willing to create personalized crafting and fundraising workshops for your organization.

​

We are currently working towards achieving a Non-Profit status.   activity for you!
