What an assortment! That’s what people say when they see the hundreds of different cards available from The Crystal Card Project.
The cards are recreated from donated cards and sold for $1 each. All the money collected goes to charity – supporting My Sister’s Place, a Chandler shelter for those escaping from domestic violence.
The events listed below are a great opportunity to get cards for all occasions – Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, thinking of you, thanks, get well. Plan to stock up now.
