#VBGIVESBACK

Happy International Women's Day!

03/04/2021

6 years. 56 women. 56 causes.

On this International Women's Day, we're recognizing all the incredible women who have been a part of #VBGIVESBACK through the years. When we started the program in 2015, our goal was to support the women making a difference in the world. We did so, and continue to do so, by donating a portion of proceeds from every single veronicabeard.com order—all day, every day—to their causes, in addition to special in-store events and volunteer opportunities. We're deeply proud of this sisterhood we've built.

To everyone who has shopped and supported us, THANK YOU. We're big believers in spreading the generosity and know that small acts can bring about big change. And we're making them count even more on March 8—we're doubling our giveback online toward our #VBGIVESBACK partner of the quarter, the Lower Eastside Girls Club, and taking donations in store.

Below, inspiring words from these women to power you through your day…
