BAILEY’S TEAM FOR AUTISM
Approximately 1 in 54 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, affecting all ethnic and socioeconomic groups. On average, autism costs families an estimated $60,000 a year through childhood, with the bulk of the costs in special services and lost wages related to increased demands on one or both parents.*
For several years, Vantel Pearls was honored to partner with Bailey’s Team for Autism to increase autism awareness. Our Consultants immediately bonded with Bailey and were determined to maximize sales or our annual Autism Collection in an effort to support this meaningful organization. We encourage you to meet Bailey and learn more about Bailey’s Team by visiting www.baileysteam.org.

Vantel Pearls has worked tirelessly for almost a decade to support New Hope, a Massachusetts domestic violence support center providing countless essential resources for those attempting to escape domestic and sexual violence. To learn more about New Hope’s mission, please visit www.new-hope.org.

FEEDING AMERICA
The global Covid-19 pandemic created many opportunities to serve those in need. Vantel Pearls answered the call and created Pearls for a Purpose to help feed doctors, nurses, and other front-line medical staff as they worked around the clock in the early days of the pandemic. Later in 2020, Vantel Pearls partnered with Feeding America to help provide meals for those whose lives had been drastically impacted by the pandemic. However, it doesn’t take a global emergency for people to go hungry. Please visit www.feedingamerica.org to learn how you can help end hunger.
TODAY SHOW TOY DRIVE
The Direct Selling Association and the Today Show partnered each year for the Today Show Toy Drive.
