OpenSky Goodness Channel Presents Julianne Moore for Save the Children

Take a look at that headline. About a year ago, our CEO, John Caplan, and I discussed launching the OpenSky Goodness Channel—in which we could use the power of our network not only to enable discovery of the best products curated by trusted experts for our members, but we could also do some good. A year later, here we are.

I am thrilled and honored that our first Goodness Channel event is to partner with Julianne Moore and Save the Children on the sale of their limited-edition Valentine’s Day cards. My husband and I have been buying these cards every year since Julianne started the tradition five years ago, so it is a treasured Valentine’s Day event in our house.

This year, Julianne selected some of her very favorite children’s book authors and illustrators to create the designs, and they are fantastic—filled with love and spirit. My daughters can’t wait to receive theirs in the mail and get to work on creating their class Valentines. I had a few samples, so I was able to give them a preview!  

Each and every penny of the purchase price of the cards is going to the critical domestic health and education programs of Save the Children, a cause that is a very personal one for Julianne, as you can read about here and here.

I’m also delighted that we are able to augment our cards offer with another offer: all three of Julianne’s incredible Freckleface Strawberry books, signed by Julianne.  These books are just the best, all about being yourself, and are beloved by my daughters. What a great gift this bundle is for a special kid in your life, or for all the birthday parties kids go to. I think this is one gift that the other parents will really be excited for their kids to get! OpenSky will be donating all of our proceeds from the books to Save the Children.

So—bottom line: I hope that everyone who reads this will consider purchasing these great cards for their Valentine’s Day celebrations, and the Freckleface Strawberry books for all the kids you know. You will know that you are making a difference for kids across our country and giving them a better chance in life. Thanks to Julianne and Save the Children for partnering with us. I’m looking forward to working with both again. And thanks to you for reading. Watch this space for more news on the OpenSky Goodness Channel.
