Thanks to all who made the Hope Collection such a great success. Thanks to all of you, we were able to donate over $500 to St. Jude Children’s Hospital to support children’s cancer research. Since we had such an overwhelming response to Amber’s charms, we decided we wanted to build on that success in order to support other non-profit organizations. So we are introducing the New Pugster cares Program. Pugster cares is a fun way for us all to get involved in helping organizations and those less fortunate that ourselves. Pugster cares is a partnership. You pick an organization and design the charms, and we’ll take care of the rest. So if you have an organization in mind and think you can design 10 photo or laser Italian charms to be sold on our website, than we want to hear from you.

• Decide which organization you would like us to donate too and why.
  
• Get started on your designs! The final collection will be 10 photo and/or laser Italian charms, all of which will be designed by you.
  
• Submit to us a few designs from your collection, the name of the organization you would like to support and a short explanation on why this is a good cause. All are welcome to submit their ideas and we will choose future collections from your submissions. Keep in mind this is not a contest. While we will run only one Pugster cares Collection at a time, all legitimate submissions can potentially be accepted.

Collections will be sold on Pugster.com for one month, after which 50% of proceeds from the charms will be donated to the designated organization. The Italian charms will be promoted throughout the site, and on banners and emails.

If you would like to make a submission to Pugster cares, please send an email to cares@pugster.com

Your email should include the following:

• Name of organization you would like to support.
• Short explanation on why you have chosen this organization.
• 2-3 examples of your charm designs.  Please attach the designs in GIF, JPG, PNG, or BMP format.  When designing, please keep in mind that designs will be shrunk to about 7mm x 6mm to be placed on charms.

• Charm designs must be original, and cannot contain and licensed, trademarked, or copyrighted materials.

• Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
