The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel


Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope... and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. ~Robert F. Kennedy


We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
Marian Wright Edelman

The Jewel of Giving-The Joan Hornig Collection

Usually when you make a donation to your favorite charitable organization you might receive a tote bag, maybe a mug, a calendar or a Tshirt. Of course you are not giving to receive but to give. Jewelry designer Joan Hornig has turned the phrase "...it is better to give than to receive" on its ear, or earring as the case may be.

ALL profits from Joan Hornig's wonderful jewelry collection are donated to any of over 300 not for profit organizations.
By purchasing a design of Joan's you not only have the pleasure of owning, wearing and loving a wonderful piece but also the joy of selecting which organization the profits from that piece will go toward.

In 2003 Joan combined her passions-a love and gift for jewelry design and a commitment to education and philanthropy by starting the Joan Hornig Foundation with a very simple and elegant concept, "Philanthropy is Beautiful".
You have a choice this Holiday Season, give a gift, or give a gift that gives! and Oh, what a beautiful choice!
