Maria Shireen® to Support #RightToBearArts Campaign

New York, New York (September 27, 2017) – Today, Maria Shireen®, makers of the original hair tie bracelet, announced the creation of the one-of-a-kind, limited-edition piece to support The Creative Coalition, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity. Beginning September 20, 2017, $10 from each sale of the Creative Coalition bracelet will be donated to the organization’s #RightToBearArts™ national campaign, which supports arts advocacy and calls for the right to maintain an imaginative and expressive population.

“We are thrilled to work with The Creative Coalition to help raise awareness and funds to support their advocacy and educational efforts towards protecting all forms of the arts, one of the most important ties that binds humanity together,” said Shireen Thor, CEO and co-founder of Maria Shireen.

The Maria Shireen Creative Coalition bracelet is a statement piece with purpose, serving as functional jewelry that cleverly transforms a hair tie into a sophisticated cuff bracelet, as well as a wearable emblem for a commitment to the arts. Available in a silver, gold or rose gold finish, the bracelet features a sleek and chic design adorned with a fine tip paintbrush charm to signify being bound to the arts. The bracelet can be purchased at https://mariashireen.com/pages/creative-coalition/# for $35.

CEO of The Creative Coalition, Robin Bronk, said, “With the Maria Shireen Creative Coalition bracelet, we all can now support the arts with style! Maria Shireen is a perfect example of a company that does well by doing good, and we are most appreciative. We expect the bracelet to be trending immediately as the perfect fashion accessory that combines substance and style.”
