Gathering school supplies for teachers who typically pay out of pocket with , supporting Indigneous-led organizations like , actively support the process of Truth and Reconciliation, and joining to open up the conversation around mental health and illness. These are just a few of the ways that Jillian Harris and Team Jilly have recently supported local communities, an impact that can now grow even bigger thanks to joining the Kelowna-based technology platform, Do Some Good.
Behind everything Jillian Harris and Team Jilly does is a desire to help strengthen and give back to communities near and dear to their hearts. Supporting efforts to achieve equity and helping vulnerable community members is both a pillar of Jillian鈥檚 business and a passion for all involved. In the past three years alone, Jillian and team have raised over $750,000 for different charities and individuals and hope to drive even more impact by being a part of a collective movement of businesses doing good.
鈥淲e needed an easy way to engage our communities, support local causes, and amplify all the amazing stories that non-profit organizations share,鈥� says Jillian Harris, Founder and Creative Director of Jillian Harris Design and The Jilly Academy, and Co-Founder of The Jilly Box. 鈥淒o Some Good allows us to not only easily connect with community organizations, but they can use the platform for free! And with Do Some Good鈥檚 partnership with Black Press Media, these inspiring community stories have the potential to reach hearts near and far. We love being able to raise more awareness for causes and drive even more donations, volunteers and support their way.鈥�
Like Team Jilly, 鈥檚 mission is focused on creating as much community impact as possible, and its platform brings individuals, community organizations, and businesses together on one platform to build stronger communities across Canada. 鈥淲e are so excited to have Jillian Harris and Team Jilly join the Do Some Good family!鈥� says Sheldon Gardiner, CEO and Founder of Do Some Good. 鈥淲e can鈥檛 wait to kick off this new partnership with Jillian鈥檚 , and raise even more awareness and funds for community organizations.鈥�
The 12 Days of Giving Campaign runs Dec. 1 to 12 and sees Team Jilly partnering with some of their favourite brands who each select a non-profit organization to support. One brand and one organization will be featured during each of the 12 days throughout the campaign on social media and , as well as on Black Press media sites across B.C. The public is encouraged to participate in the campaign in a variety of ways, including making a donation to one or more of the community organizations, and will be entered to win some amazing prizes from the brands.
鈥淥ne of my favourite holiday traditions is to support organizations and families ,鈥� Harris says. 鈥淪ystemic inequities prevent so many of our community members from thriving, and the pandemic has only exacerbated the issues. So I encourage any individual, family, or business who鈥檚 in a position to spread some extra holiday cheer this year to participate in 12 Days of Giving! That鈥檚 what it鈥檚 all about for us 鈥� working as hard as we can to make the world a better place. And I love that Do Some Good is helping us do that.
