MADI Takes a Road Trip!

We're hitting the road this weekend and could USE YOUR HELP!
We're traveling from KC -> OKC -> Austin -> Houston -> Fayetteville THIS THURSDAY - TUESDAY for 2 reasons:
1.  We're distributing 300 pairs of MADI underwear donations to four women's organizations we've partnered with in each city!
2.  But -- in order to continue donating to these organizations on a regular basis (after this weekend) - we must develop a sustainable buy1give1 model in these cities.  If we find a retail boutique to sell MADI Apparel in, in each of these cities, for all MADI intimates sold in that boutique, we will donate a pair of underwear LOCALLY in that city.
 
Here's how YOU - our MADI friends/supporters - can help: 
We can use your help in finding local boutiques to sell our impactful intimates.  For all MADI intimates sold at any retail boutique, a pair of underwear will be donated back to that local community!  We love keeping MADI donations local and sustainable in that city!

Hayley Raised Awareness In....Her Underwear!

If you haven't already heard, founder Hayley Besheer spent her Christmas Eve standing in her underwear on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. Hayley was there to represent the vulnerability that women who do not have access to new underwear might feel and raise awareness about domestic violence. One of Hayley's New Year's resolutions was to get outside her comfort zone, and this was certainly an excellent way to get started on that goal!
If you want to hear more about this amazing way Hayley raised awareness check out this video!
Hayley has also just been recognized in KC Magazine for her amazing display! Check it out here!

Girls Night Out to Support Lazarus Ministries

We recently held an event where we partnered with the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri that we called "Girls Night Out" to support Lazarus Ministries. It was a night of shopping with complimentary wine and appetizers at MADI Apparel. 15% of all sales went to support Lazarus Ministries at Historic Grand Avenue Temple and for each pair of underwear purchased a pair was donated to a woman in need as always!
Lazarus Ministries is an organization that strives "to offer unlimited compassion while providing for the unmet needs of Kansas City’s urban core through a volunteer program which allows an opportunity for interpreting service as an expression of faith." To learn more about Lazarus Ministries click here!
Founder Hayley was also featured on KCWE as well as KMBC 9 News speaking about the event!

 
Here are some other pictures from the event!
Stay tuned for posts about more fun events like this one!
