First glance at the newest ALEX AND ANI bangle
Gentle and feminine, the holiday angel often finds herself at the top of the tree. With her watchful gaze, she aims to protect, guide, and comfort. Let her grace and presence remind you to believe in angles.
ALEX AND ANI announces its holiday charity collection today. The beautiful Angel bangle, part of the Charity by Design line, benefits Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and reminds us of the many angels that help care for local kids.
Kids like Zannah.
Zannah’s parents were alarmed when she fell limp in her father’s arms at 2 weeks old. With a prenatal heart defect and a hypoplastic right heart, they knew the odds of good health were against her. She was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest and diagnosed with a rare bacterial infection. Zannah was placed on a life-support machine that took over the function of her lungs and heart. She was given 24 to 48 hours to live.
Miraculously, Zannah survived and that hospital visit marked the first of several, including two open-heart surgeries to repair her heart defects. Caretakers recommended Zannah’s parents be tested to ensure that heart conditions weren’t a family matter. As a result of the screenings, Zannah’s mother discovered she had hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Zannah is now a healthy little girl who loves to sing and dance, as well as laugh with her jokester father.
When Zannah went into cardiac arrest following the diagnosis of several heart conditions and the contraction of a rare bacterial infection, she was placed on a special machine that ultimately saved her life. Donations help fund this type of life-saving equipment at Zannah’s children’s hospital.
We invite you to celebrate and recognize the Angels in your life by purchasing this bangle – available November 8th through February 28th. She will be available in ALEX AND ANI retail stores, in participating boutiques and online.
20% of the purchase price of the Angel bangle provide the life-saving equipment, patient care and charitable care programs at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals that help kids like Zannah.
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and ALEX AND ANI have partnered since June 2015 and have raised over $500,000 to date to benefit 170 local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Through the Charity by Design partnership, ALEX AND ANI have created two bangles to create donations that fund critical needs for member hospitals. All donations stay local and hospitals are given the donations un-restricted to use for the most immediate needs impacting local children.
