News — give back

At Ruth & Naomi, each fashion season, we highlight a different girl that exemplifies what it means to Be Kind, Be Humble and BeYOUtiful! The Ruth & Naomi Girl of the Season will share her story with you and a portion of the proceeds from that season will go to her favorite charity. 
This season (Oct, Nov, & Dec) we are proud to bring you TWO Girls of the Season with ONE big mission! 

Evelyn (Evie) and Joelle (JoJo) have been friends since Kindergarten. (You may recognize them from some of our product images;)
Their families have been close friends too, but recently Evie, JoJo and their families were joined together in an even deeper way when both of their Moms were diagnosed with cancer within a year of one another. Evie & JoJo were overwhelmed with love and support from the community, and now want to give back to others facing the same situation. Together, with their siblings, they have created their own non-profit called
SMILES For Cancer.
S.M.I.L.E.S. is an acronym for Strong Moms Inspire us to Love, Encourage and Support. 

 
Ruth & Naomi is PROUD to partner with these Be-YOU-tiful girls and SMILES For Cancer to encourage awareness and support, financially and spiritually, for those diagnosed with cancer and their families and loved ones.
Find out more about their Non-Profit Organization @ www.smilesforcancer.org. 

You can help support this amazing organization by continuing to purchase @ Ruth & Naomi. A portion of our proceeds will go back to SMILES For Cancer. 

As always, thank you for your support of Ruth & Naomi and our partner organizations. 

Be Kind, Be Humble, BeYOUtiful,

Ruth & Naomi was honored to help sponsor the 2017 Iron Horse Ride-a-Thon for Special Olympics. Iron Horse provides therapeutic horseback riding and equine-assisted activities for children and adults with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities by PATH-certified instructors. Each year, they take their riders to the Special Olympics and the Rid-a-Thon helped raise money to enable them to pay for the trip. 

From 9am on Saturday morning, all day, through the night, and until 9am Sunday morning, someone was riding a horse NON-STOP! It was sure a sight to see! Children and adults of all ages and abilities were enjoying the beautiful weather and pony rides! 
The event included multiple sponsors as well as a silent auction. We were proud to help Iron Horse raise the funds they needed to head to the Special Olympics. 

Good Luck Iron Horse families! Ruth & Naomi is cheering you on!
