Wisteria Gifts owner Leslie Resnick displays an Envirosax bag. Through Friday, Wisteria will donate 20% of all Envirosax purchases to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
Earlier today I saw a post on Twitter from Wisteria Gifts, saying that today through Friday they’ll donate 20% of the purchase of Envirosax to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Not even knowing what Envirosax were, I walked over to their Washington Avenue storefront and asked proprietor Leslie Renick for some information.
Leslie explained that Envirosax are relatively inexpensive ($10), environmentally friendly bags with a fashionable appearance. Wisteria Gifts and many other Pleasantville businesses have their storefronts adourned with blue and white balloons — showing their support for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation fundraiser going on through Friday.
Wisteria Gifts is located at 29 Washington Avenue in Pleasantville, NY. Their phone number is (914) 449-6747.
Hi Chris – It was great to see the Pediatric Cancer Foundation’s Blue Streak of Hope fundraiser mentioned in your blog. More than 30 Pleasantville retailers are committed to this three-day event, which ends on Friday. We have listed the participants below. If you have any interest in speaking with us (the event sponsors), the Pediatric Cancer Foundation board, or other retailers (Flour and Sun Bakery did a special blue cupcake for the event), we’d be happy to help in any way.
