It’s always great when an organization gets a little press….it’s even better when two great organizations get some press together! Here’s what the Cincinnati Enquirer reported in today’s newspaper (Thursday, July 26th).

Beaded Hope headbands, handmade by women in South Africa impacted by HIV/AIDS, are now available in Oakley’s Red Tree Gallery. The headbands come in a variety of colors and designs, reflecting both African and American tastes.

All profits of Beaded Hope go to fighting HIV/AIDS and malnutrition in Mamelodi Township, South Africa.

Red Tree is a new art gallery and coffee shop that supports emerging and established artists with an emphasis on the local arts community. The gallery features progressive art within a neighborhood coffee shop and lounge setting, along with a specialty shop featuring accessories such as the Beaded Hope headbands. Prices for the headbands range from $20 to $25.

In addition to Red Tree, Beaded Hope accessories are also available at Second Chance Upscale Resale in Springdale and on-line at beadedhope.com.

Red Tree Gallery is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is at 4409 Brazee St. in Oakley. Visit redtreegallery.net or call 321-8733 for more information.
