Go Red for Women and Catholic Services of Acadiana will benefit this week as part of the INDStyle 2016 in-store fundraising events scheduled across the city as part of The Independent’s monthlong fashion campaign. On Thursday Little Town will host the Go Red event and Brother’s will partner with Catholic Services to donate 10 percent of the day’s sales to their respective charities. Catholic Charities will also launch a new Holiday Shopping Partners Card that will provide cardholders a 20 percent discount at many local retailers and restaurants in support of their work. Get the details at Brother’s this week.
In addition to beverages and bites throughout the day, Little Town has a free sussie waiting for the first 50 shoppers. Brother’s will also offer refreshments and treats all day as well as an exclusive viewing of the Kendra Scott holiday collection.
