New ALEX AND ANI® Exclusive Cherub Charm Bangle will Raise Funds for Hasbro Children’s Hospital
Providence, R.I. – Continuing with their ongoing commitment to Hasbro Children’s Hospital, ALEX AND ANI today released the exclusive new Cherub Charm Expandable Wire Bangle, announcing that proceeds from its sale will be donated to the hospital.
The Cherub Charm Expandable Wire Bangle is the latest addition to the brand’s CHARITY BY DESIGN collection, which was born from the company’s desire to spread (+) ENERGY® worldwide while raising funds for nonprofit organizations and elevating their missions through awareness. It can be found in ALEX AND ANI retail locations nationwide, the company’s retail partner locations, and online at www.alexandani.com.
Hasbro Children’s Hospital was the first official charitable partner of ALEX AND ANI and products within the CHARITY BY DESIGN collection. The brand now supports a wide-range of organizations on an international, national, and local level. The hospital’s first exclusive bangle, the Hero Charm, has generated more than $132, 000 for Hasbro Children’s Hospital to date. In addition to financial support, ALEX AND ANI leadership and employees are active ambassadors of the hospital, regularly serving on event committees and volunteering at the annual Radiothon.
“We remain extremely humbled by the incredible generosity of ALEX AND ANI and their loyal customers, who not only purchase these beautiful charms to support our hospital, but also to show their solidarity for those we care for,” said Margaret M. Van Bree, MHA, DrPH, president of Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital. “Words alone cannot express our gratitude for our partnership with ALEX AND ANI—there’s no question their support is having a tremendous impact on children and families.”
ALEX AND ANI has made it their mission to fully encompass partnerships, including utilizing Team (+) Impact, where employees of the brand will volunteer with the hospital during events such as the annual family picnic, Hasbro Children’s Hospital Radiothon, and many other collaborations where employees can fully understand the importance of the partnership and how vital the hospital’s efforts are to the community.
“As our first charitable partner, Hasbro Children’s Hospital holds such a special place in our hearts.” Nicki Maher, SVP of Global Brand Relations at ALEX AND ANI said. “Seeing the success we have already been able to accomplish together right at home in Rhode Island over the last 4 years, this opportunity to bring more awareness and fundraising through this design is something we’re all excited about. Having the chance to see first-hand how many children and their families are supported and given hope truly makes this relationship such an important one.”

Attorney Rob Levine Makes Bail!
$37,000 Raised for Local MDA Chapter at Executive Lock Up
Attorney Rob Levine makes bail for the MDA!
Select business leaders, appropriately nicknamed “Honorary Jailbird,”’ served a voluntary 60-minute sentence at Legal Sea Foods to raise funds for MDA. Between enjoying a delicious lunch and networking with other participants, MDA Jailbirds called friends and family to bail them out of jail. The $37,000 that was raised at Wednesday’s Lock Up will help fund MDA’s clinic at Rhode Island Hospital, summer camp tuition, essential equipment repairs, support groups and worldwide research.
Among those who participated was Attorney Rob Levine, the infamous ‘Heavy Hitter’, who raised more than $10,000 and became Rhode Island’s top raising Honorary Jailbird ever! An incredible achievement that “could not have been accomplished without the help of all the dedicated and giving friends, vendors, and employees who I have been so fortunate to surround myself with,” says Levine, “thank you to everyone for all of your support and help.”
Attorney Levine’s commitment to his community began at the age of 16 when he joined the local emergency response team as a medical technician. Levine later served in the Rhode Island National Guard as a military police officer and continued on to join the Central Falls Police Department. Working as a public servant inspired Levine to pursue a career in law. “I became a lawyer so that I could have an impact on the community in a more global sense, and reach more people suffering from injuries and disabilities,” he says.
While proud to have made history for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Rhode Island, Levine humbly insists, “Every dollar raised- by every person- for MDA makes a difference.”
MDA runs more than 80 summer camps across the nation, giving children with muscle disease the opportunity to experience a week without barriers. “We’re very happy and very proud,” says Traci Fulford, of Ocean State Behavioral, “to have supported these wonderful kids in their quest to go to camp.”
MDA is the world’s leading nonprofit health organization sponsoring research seeking the causes of and effective treatments for neuromuscular diseases. MDA research grants currently are supporting more than 250 projects worldwide. MDA covers 43 diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
