In 2003, Joan Hornig developed a way to combine her passion for jewelry, education and philanthropy through the creation of the Joan B. Hornig Foundation. The foundation's mission is to provide support for registered charitable organizations throughout the world.Those choosing to purchase Joan Hornig designs are meant to derive pleasure not only from the jewelry, but also from the meaning of giving back. All profits from each item are donated to charity. Purchasers are able to direct the donation to a charity of their choice, in their honor, by following the steps outlined on this site.( from the Joan Hornig site here)


Madeline's choice from Joan Hornig is a beautiful jade bracelet, called "Nuts & Bolts of Giving" & the proceeds from it will go to Madeline's favorite charity Project Mala.
