Fortunoff's Charms For Charity For Mother's Day
This year you can give your mother the same gift that a celebrity is giving theirs. Fortunoff has launched Charms for Charity with celebrities such as Brooke Shields, Eva Longoria, Denise Richards, Hayden Panettiere, Keri Russell, Molly Sims and Petra Nemcova. Each selected their favorite gold charms from Fortunoff'charm collection. The bracelets will serve personalized gifts and Fortunoff will create replicas of each of the celebrity designed bracelets to be auctioned off on Portero.com from May 8th through May 17th. One hundred percent of funds raised will benefit the charity of the celebrity's choice. The choice of charms are interesting, for example, Eva Longoria's bracelet, which benefits her charity Eva's Heroes has an Eiffel Tower, a basketball, an umbrella cocktail, drama masks and a heart and cross combination, things which seem to be more about Eva and her upcoming wedding than her mom. Keri Russell's includes three seashells and gardening tools and Brooke Shields's is the blandest of the ones I have seen with a pair of baby shoes, a baby carriage, Empire state building and a present box. You can check out the rest of the designs at the website. Keri and Brooke's bracelets are after the jump.

Hi all! My name is Olivia and I am an intern for a non-profit called One By One. We celebrate motherhood by working to end obstetric fistula, a devastating childbirth injury prevalent in the developing world that is caused by unrelieved obstructed labor. 90% of women who suffer from fistula have lost their unborn children and they leak urine continuously as a result of their injuries. As tragic as fistula is, it is treatable and preventable. The average cost of fistula repair surgery for one woman is $300, and every donation makes a difference. This Mother’s Day, One By One is offering an alternative gift idea —for the price of a bouquet of flowers you can drastically improve lives of mothers in the developing world. To make a tax-deductible donation in your mother’s name please visit www.fightfistula.org. Donations include an ecard sent to your mother telling her about your donation. One By One is all about real people supporting real mothers and their communities across the world from ours. This is a great, quick (or last minute) gift that really makes a difference! Thanks!
