South Volleyball Team Donates Jewelry to WARM

8/10/2012

The Westerville South High School girls’ volleyball team participated in a Premier Design Jewelry fashion runway show to raise money to help offset the costs of new uniforms and equipment for the program. Premier Design consultant Sharon Freeman offered to give 100% of the profits back to the team. The players were able to raise $1,200 for their program.

When a person or group hosts a Premier Design party, they are eligible to earn free jewelry. The team earned 31 necklaces valued at approximately $1,000 dollars, and they decided to donate them to the Westerville Area Resource Ministry (WARM.) WARM was chosen as their community service project because of the program they offer that helps get women back on their feet and back into the work force. The players thought each woman who came in for assistance could receive a necklace to wear to interviews. Initial contacts were made with WARM representative Marian Hicks, who accepted the jewelry on behalf of the organization. The top three sellers from the team, in order, were Madison Russell, Abbey Saddler and Carlie Freeman.
