Foil Me: The Journey So Far
"As part of our core values, we prioritise supporting causes that require awareness and financial assistance,” says Foil Me Co-owner and CEO, Emily Ciardiello.
“The commitment to donating 100% of proceeds to Giant Steps, a school dedicated to individuals with autism, struck a chord with me. Rarely do we see events pledging full proceeds, so I was eager to be involved is such a selfless event."
"Occupational therapy is a cornerstone of the Giant Steps program, enabling children to thrive as students by addressing core autism deficits and enhancing motor skills. Your generous funding will directly enhance our facilities, providing essential resources like balance beams, ball pits, and swings, as well as improving fine motor skill support" - Michelle Jocum, National Director of Fundraising at Giant Steps.
In honour of this epic cause, let’s take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of the other charities we’ve had the privilege of supporting over the years - with your help, of course.
The Jujup Collection
First up, let's talk about The Jujup Collection. A storytelling masterpiece, this collection was created in collaboration with the Australian Hairdressing Council and talented Indigenous Artist, Sarrita King. The Jujup tells a story of each unique learning journey, and with education being a cause that is particularly close to our hearts, we have committed to donating $1 from every box sold to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. Why? Because we believe every child deserves access to books and learning.
The Bee Collection
The Bee Collection is more than just a beautiful design – it's a symbol of our commitment to saving the bees! For every box sold, we’ve continued to donate $1 to the Wheen Bee Foundation, because we know how important these little pollinators are for our planet. Together, we've raised over $7,000 to help support bee conservation efforts, and we're just getting started!
The BCR Collection
We created the BCR Collection to support breast cancer research. With $1 from every box sold going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, together with the assistance of our movement, we raised over $120,000 to help in their mission to achieve zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030.
The Pride Collection
Our Pride Collection is all about celebrating diversity and spreading love wherever we go. With every box sold, we’ve donated $1 to The Equality Project, because we believe in a world where everyone is accepted for who they are. Together, we've raised over $4,000 to support the LGBTIQ+ community so far!
The Full Circle
Here at Foil Me, we take the motto ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ very seriously. With the Full Circle Collection, we teamed up with GSC to raise awareness about recycling in the salon industry. For every box sold, we donated £1.50 to FoodCycle. Collectively, we've raised over £600 to provide nutritious meals and support to communities across the UK. Let's keep the cycle going!
