How do our Charity Campaigns work?
Each Seller is offering you a one of a kind creation marked at a special price and reserves a portion of the sale to be donated in YOUR NAME to the designated charity of the campaign!
All you do is purchase the pieces of art you want from a participating STJ seller (most all sellers are able to participate) and we do the rest!Very Generous! We have the not only thee best artisans around but the kindest too! Each item will have the sale price and donation amount clearly marked in each item description.
Once the sale is completed we take the donation amount
and gift it to that charity YOUR NAME!

Previous Charitable Campaign
Fall 2008
We collected approx $350.00 for Autism Speaks in one month from art sales!
SpookyTime Jingles very first campaign was to raise awareness and funds for Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is such an amazing organization that has accomplished so much since only starting 4 years ago as of February 25, 2009!
We chose this foundation to be our first campaign for charity for many reasons but mainly in recognition of one of our artisans, Kristen Beason. Her son Shayne is Autistic.
Here's a scary statistic- 1 in 155 children are diagnosed with autism. Parents, caregivers, relatives and friends know the challenges of raising a child with autism. Many times, the educational and public systems fail these children. Frustration, anger, and sadness are not uncommon feelings. However, there's hope.
Hope that one day a cure will be discovered. Hope that society will embrace all individuals with special needs. Hope that your child will fulfill their dreams and lead a productive life. Please support autism research and advocacy. Through autism awareness let's work to change that statistic!
Here is Shayne& family at his High School Graduation 2009!
Way to Go SHAYNE!
Since its inception, Autism Speaks has committed an unprecedented $128 million in new research funding through 2014 to uncover the cause(s), prevention, treatments and cure for autism, making it the nation's top private funder of autism research.
