Be a part of the gift-giving holiday season. Donors will receive a handmade one-of-a-kind Ornament from Lisa Young, who uses upcycled and vintage materials with a distinctly modern edge. Each of her unique pieces are handcrafted in her home studio in Riverdale, Toronto. Each ornament will include a festive ribbon and gift bag. Collect them, gift them, or exchange them with family, friends and colleagues. Ornaments are issued for donations of $75 or more (while quantities last). Download the donation form here or make the donation by clicking on Donate Today or the link provided below and indicate you would like an Ornament in the comment field. (Note: A tax receipt will be issued for the value of your donation minus the value of the gift ($25). Donations of less than $75 will receive a full tax receipt.)
