"Forever Young Bracelets," was started by one family with a big heart. The Racanelli Sisters, Carly and Lexie, decided that this would be an effective way to give back. The "Michael Racanelli 'Forever Young' Foundation" was created after the loss of Michael Martin Racanelli, their beloved brother.
Part of the funds made per-bracelet get donated to the foundation. The foundation itself spreads the wealth around to other organizations and the local community. Mission Be brings mindfulness to the classroom, with the intent of improving the learning experience. Another fund they support is THON, run by Pennsylvania State University, which is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world whose funds are donated to pediatric cancer.
And now for every consumers' delight…here are the bracelets.
They are all hand-made by the Long Island family and are perfect for all your casual wear. Their boho-sheek style certainly calls the attention of the hipsters and the beach goers on the island. Not only is there a women’s style but they are now working on men’s bracelets as well! The bracelets can come with plain beads or a bit of flare can be added such as a Hamsa hand, an elephant, a Buddha, a skull, a feather, a sun, and more! Not only do they have beads but you may even purchase a tassel set!
Not only is it a great edition to your wardrobe, when you look at it, you know you helped “spread the peace.” Through one organization or another, your purchase made a difference in a child’s life. Your specific donation can range from giving a child an effective learning environment to donating to a pediatric cancer ward.
The bracelets are currently sold in local Long Island and Fire Island stores such as Bunger and Bambootique; two beach inspired stores! They may be inspired by the beach lifestyle but do not let that fool you! "Forever Young Bracelets" are fashionable for any time of year in any place!
