Local Business Gives Back to CASA
Giving back is at the core of our mission at Digital Retail Partners (DRP), and we actively collaborate with organizations that drive positive change in the community. In early 2023, the DRP team discovered Heart & Harper, owned by a remarkable 10-year-old girl, Paisley-Kate. She’s on a mission to BRING BACK KINDNESS by donating 100% of net profits from selling handmade bracelets and clothing to various causes.
We have cheered her on watching her business grow and advocate for the special needs community powered by her desire to support her brother with Autism. Paisley-Kate and her mother work tirelessly to make a difference, and their unwavering dedication and passion are a driving force helping to transform the world. To ensure that everyone could feel the magic of Heart & Harper, we donated a brand new Shopify website to this amazing little girl.
Heart & Harper gave us something special in return. We are thrilled to announce our own collection of featured bracelets, t-shirts, and accessories to benefit an organization near and dear to our hearts. The NEW Heart & Harper x DRP Collection proceeds will be donated to Court Appointed Special Advocates, Inc. (CASA) of Virginia Beach. CASA recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to advocate for child victims of abuse and neglect who are too young to speak for themselves in the complicated family legal system. DRP Founder, Debra Lutsky serves as an active board member and advocate.
“I can’t express how inspiring this collaboration is. Not only is it impressive that Paisley-Kate at such a young age has such a generous heart but Digital Retail Partners has also donated their time, talent and treasure to help this organization succeed at spreading kindness. Thank you DRP for supporting VB CASA and impacting so many children! This is truly an amazing way to celebrate the holiday season and spread kindness!” – Kate Kosky, Chief Executive Officer of Virginia Beach CASA
