Pay It Forward
Pay It
Forward is a book written by Catherine Ryan
Hyde, but it is also an idea, an action plan
within a work of fiction, that has become a real-life
social movement...
The teacher & protagonist in the book Pay It Forward starts a movement
with this voluntary, extra-credit assignment: Think
of an idea for world change and put it into action. Trevor, the
12-year-old hero of Pay It Forward thinks of quite an idea. He describes
it to his mother and teacher this way: "You see, I do something real good
for three people. And then when they ask how they can pay it back, I say, don’t
pay it back, pay
it forward. To
three more people, each, so nine people get helped. Then those people
have to do the same and twenty-seven people are helped." He turned
on the calculator and punched in a few numbers... "Then it sort of spreads
out ... to 81, then 243, then 729, then 2187. See how big it gets!”
Here at Create-A-Stir we think Trevor had the right idea. That is why we have
created this new section of our site...to do our part to pay it forward .
The products & partners you see here will change from time to time, but the
purpose will always remain the same...to sell product to help others in need...no
strings attached. Just paying it forward, one click at a time.
Recently, Design-her Gals asked Create-A-Stir
to become a Gal Pal by supporting their October Virtual Walk for
Stage 4 breast cancer. We were so honored & excited by their
invitation, we immediately got busy on a special package just
for the Gals...
Now you too can help others and feel better when you purchase our limited-edition,
Make A Memory tea gift pak. Wrapped in Design-her Gals
colors, this gift pak contains a
delicious blend of loose-leaf, green tea with pineapple, plus one of our netted
infusers that makes tea brewing a breeze.
10% of every sale will go back to the Gal
to Gal Foundation and its primary beneficiary, the Making
Memories Foundation,
to provide research, comfort and support to Stage IV patients & families,
at a time when it is so desperately needed.

It's Alright, It's Alright Gift Pak
 Please
join us in thanking David Bryan, the
keyboard player for Bon Jovi, who recently
donated $100,000 to The
Music for All Foundation.
It is through the efforts of people like David
that programs like this exist, to ensure more
children have the benefits of an education
that includes music.
The special E-Z Gift Pak we have created in David’s honor is called It's Alright, It's
Alright, since it is a decaf black tea and "it's alright" to drink it any time of day. (OK, we admit it, we call it that for another reason too.)
Here at Create-A-Stir, we believe music stirs the soul... and by ordering this tea, you can stir up some music for our kids!
All proceeds from the sales of this gift pack will go to The
Music For All Foundation, which you can check out at http://www.musicforall.org
