As always, this event benefits a local cause! Swagger Gifts is excited to announce that this year's Holiday Open House Preview Night will be benefiting Life Experiences, Inc. - a local nonprofit organization that blends education, training, and the free enterprise system to create and operate businesses which provide fulfilling employment for adults with developmental disabilities, allowing them to function as independent, productive citizens of the Triangle. Click here for more info!

Stay tuned to find out what kind of amazing gifts we'll have in this year's gift bags and what perks will be included in this year's Holiday Open House!

The Fox Family has been shopping at Swagger for years. Wanda Fox always has a big smile on her face and a great attitude towards life in general! Recently, Wanda told us that she has a medically fragile child at home and they need help to raise money for his disease. Wanda’s son, Kevin, has a rare, inherited, neurological movement disorder characterized by the progressive degeneration of the nervous system called NBIA (Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation) Disorder.

A few months ago, the Fox Family was told that one of the few labs that is dedicated to researching this disease is at risk of CLOSING, because funding from the National Institute of Health is at an all-time low! Once the doors close, their hope for a cure is gone!

We want to do our part to help them keep the lap open so come in, buy a Trollbeads raffle ticket, and SHOP FOR THE CAUSE at our special event on September 15th from 5pm until 8pm. Click here for more details!

Check out Kevin's Facebook to see some inspiring pictures of him and his family! You can even watch a clip of his Make-A-Wish Trip to Sesame Street! Please read Wanda's heartfelt letter for more important information on NBIA and why we are so eager to help!

Finally, check out the NBIA Disorder's Website or Facebook Page for more information on the disease or to donate.
